Nikon D500 - Manual (Page 133)

133 Menu Guide
Dirt or dust entering the camera when lenses are exchanged or
the body cap is removed may adhere to the image sensor and
affect your photographs. The Clean image sensor option
vibrates the sensor to remove dust.
Use this option to lock the mirror up so that dust that can not be
removed using Clean image sensor can be removed manually
as described in the section on manual cleaning in the User’s
Manual. Note, however, that because the image sensor is easily
damaged, we recommend that manual cleaning be performed
only by a Nikon-authorized service representative.
