3  Auto Rotate of Vertical Images
Auto rotate will not work with vertical images captured while Auto rotate was 
[Off ]. They will not rotate even if you later switch it to [ On] for playback.
  Immediately after image capture, the vertical image will not be 
automatically rotated for the image review.
  If the vertical image is taken while the camera is pointed up or down, the 
image might not rotate automatically for playback.
  If the vertical image is not automatically rotated on the personal 
computer screen, it means the software you are using is unable to rotate 
the image. Using the provided software is recommended.

Sensor Cleaning
The camera has a Self Cleaning Sensor Unit attached 
to the sensor’s front layer (low-pass filter) to shake off 
dust automatically. 
The Dust Delete Data can also be appended to the 
image so that the remaining dust spots can be removed 
automatically by Digital Photo Professional (provided 
software).
Minimizing Dust
 When changing lenses, do it in a place with minimal dust.
  When storing the camera without a lens attached, be sure to 
attach the body cap to the camera.
  Remove dust on the body cap before attaching it.
Even while the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit is operating, you can 
press the shutter button halfway to interrupt the cleaning and start 
shooting immediately.  
						

							
128
Whenever you set the power switch to  or < 2>, the Self 
Cleaning Sensor Unit operates (approx. 1 sec.) to automatically shake 
off the dust on the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not be aware 
of this operation. However, you can execute the sensor cleaning at 
anytime as well as disable it.
1Select [Sensor cleaning].
  Under the [ 6] tab, select [ Sensor
cleaning ], then press < 0>.
2Select [Clean now f].
 Turn the < 5> dial to select [ Clean 
now f], then press < 0>.
  Select [ OK], then press < 0>.
X The screen will indicate that the 
sensor is being cleaned. Although 
there will be a shutter sound, a 
picture is not taken.
  In step 2, select [ Auto cleaningf] and set it to [ Disable].
X The sensor cleaning will no longer be executed when you set the 
power switch to < 1/J > or < 2>.
3  Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Cleaning the Sensor Now
Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
 The user-executed cleaning takes about 2.5 sec. to complete.
  For best results, do the sensor cleaning while the camera bottom is 
placed on a table or other surface at a perpendicular angle.
  Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning multiple times, the result will not 
improve that much. Right after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [ Clean 
now f] option will remain disabled temporarily.  
						

							
129
Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
visible on captured images. However, in case visible dust still remains, 
you can append the Dust Delete Data to the image to later erase the 
dust spots. The Dust Delete Data is used by Digital Photo Professional 
(provided software) to erase the dust spots automatically.
 Get a solid-white object (paper, etc.).
  Set the lens focal length to 50mm or longer.

(
∞). If the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens 
and turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.

3Photograph a solid-white object.
 At a distance of 20 - 30 cm / 0.7 - 1.0 
feet, fill the viewfinder with a 
patternless, solid-white object and 
take a picture.
X The picture will be taken in the 
aperture-priority AE mode with an 
aperture of f/22.
  Since the image will not be saved, the 
data can still be obtained even if there 
is no CF card in the camera.
X When the picture is taken, the data 
will be obtained. When the data is 
obtained, a message will appear.
Select [ OK], and the menu will 
reappear.
 
If the data was not obtained 
successfully, a message to that effect 
will appear. Follow the “Preparation” 
procedure on the preceding page, then 
select [
OK]. Take the picture again.
After the Dust Delete Data is obtained, it is appended to all the JPEG, 
RAW, and sRAW images captured thereafter. Before an important 
shoot, you should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
For erasing dust spots automatically with the bundled software, see the 
Software Instruction Manual in the CD-ROM.
The Dust Delete Data appended to the image is so small that it hardly 
affects the image file size.
About the Dust Delete Data
Be sure to use a solid-white object such as a white piece of paper. If the 
paper has any pattern or design, it may be recognized as dust data and 
affect the accuracy of the dust deletion with the software.
