Cleaning the infrared filter
If you see dark or coloured spots or lines in your images, then you may need to clean the

sensor’s infrared filter. In most cases, the careful use of compressed air will be adequate, but

sometimes small particles will get stuck to the surface of the IR filter, requiring for a more

thorough cleaning, involving either fluid or wipes. For a good safe cleaning, follow descrip-

tions below step-by-step to obtain optimum results.
Removing the sensor unit
Firstly remove the viewfinder. Slide the button on the top of the sensor unit. Maintaining

pressure, press slightly on the centre of the magazine release button and twist it clockwise

until it stops. en press the button firmly inwards towards the camera body (see diag.) to

finally release the unit. You can then swing it away from the body while it rests on the maga-

zine holder. To attach the unit, position the retention groove on the unit onto the magazine

support on the camera body ensuring that they are correctly positioned. Swing the unit

towards the camera body and firmly press into place with a click.
