● For best results, clean with the camera placed upright on a desk
or other surface.
● Repeated cleaning will not produce notably better results. Note
that [Clean now
] may not be available immediately after
cleaning.
● Contact a Canon Customer Support Help Desk regarding dust or
other material that cannot be removed by sensor cleaning.
Cleaning the Sensor Manually
Any dust that remains after automatic cleaning can also be removed by
using an optional blower or other specialized tool.
The surface of the image sensor is extremely delicate. If the sensor must
be cleaned manually, we recommend requesting service from a Canon
Customer Support Help Desk.
1
Make sure the camera is off.
2
Detach the lens.
3
Clean the sensor.
● The image sensor is extremely delicate. Clean the sensor with
care.
● Use a blower without a brush attached. A brush can scratch the
sensor.
● Do not insert the blower tip inside the camera beyond the lens
mount. It can damage the shutter curtains.
● Never use canned air or gas to clean the sensor. The blowing
force can damage the sensor or the spray gas can freeze on the
sensor.
● If a smudge that cannot be removed with a blower remains,
having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Customer Support Help
Desk is recommended.

Configure the setting.
● Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose
[Disable], and then press the [ ] button.
Activating Sensor Cleaning
1
Access the setting screen.
● Turn the camera on in Shooting mode,
choose [Sensor cleaning] on the [ 3] tab,
and press the [ ] button.
● Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose
[Clean now ], and then press the [ ]
button.
2
Start cleaning.
● Press the [ ][ ] buttons to choose [OK],
and then press the [ ] button.
● A message is displayed indicating that
cleaning is in progress. Although there
will be a shutter sound, a picture is not
taken.
● The sensor cleaning also works while no lens is attached. If no
lens is attached, do not insert your finger or blower tip beyond the
lens mount. This is to prevent damage to the shutter curtains.
