particles enter the camera when the

protection safeguard the image sensor.
First, a special static-free coating on the

prevent dust from adhering. Second, an
anti-dust mechanism vibrates the filter
at high speed every time the camera
is switched off to dislodge any dust
particles that settled on its surface.
