Normally, the Self Cleaning Sensor Unit will eliminate most of the dust 
that might be visible on captured im ages. However, in case visible dust 
still remains, you can append the Du st Delete Data to the image for 
erasing the dust spots later. 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.
  Set the lens focus mode switch to < MF> and set the focus to infinity 
(
∞). If the lens has no distance scale, look at the front of the lens 
and turn the focusing ring clockwise all the way.
1Select [Dust Delete Data].
  Under the [ y] tab, select [Dust 
Delete Data ], then press < 0>.
2Select [OK].
  Select [OK ] and press < 0>. After 
the automatic self-cleaning of the 
sensor is performed, a message will 
appear. Although there will be a

 At a distance of 20 cm - 30 cm (0.7 ft. 
- 1.0 ft.), 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 obta ined even if there 
is no card in the camera.

When the picture is tak en, the camera will 
start obtaining the Dust Delete Data. 
When the Dust Delete Data is obtained, a 
message will appear.
Select 
[OK ], and the me nu 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 obt ained, it is appended to all the JPEG 
and RAW images captured thereafter.  Before an important shoot, you 
should update the Dust Delete Data by obtaining it again.
To erase dust spots automatically with the provided 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 new sheet of white paper. If the 
paper has any pattern or design, it ma y be recognized as dust data and 
affect the accuracy of the du st deletion with the software.

Basically, there are the following three ways to playback the movies you 
shot.
Use the provided AV cable or an HDMI 
Cable HTC-100 (sold separately) to 
connect the camera to a TV set. Then 
you can playback the captured movies 
and photos on the TV.
If you have a High-Definition TV set and 
connect your camera with an HDMI 
cable, you can watch Full HD (Full High-
Definition: 1920x1080) and HD (High-
Definition: 1280x720) movies with higher 
image quality.
You can playback movies on the 
camera’s LCD monitor and even edit out 
the first and last scenes. You can also 
playback photos and movies recorded in 
the card as an automatic slide show.
k Enjoying Movies
Playback on a TV set(p.167, 169)
Playback on the Camera’s LCD Monitor(p.162-166)
 Movies on a card can be  played only by devices which can play MOV 
files.
  Since hard disk recorder s do not have an HDMI IN terminal, the camera 
cannot be connected with an HDMI cable.
  Even if the camera is  connected to a hard di sk recorder with a USB 
cable, movies and photos c annot be played nor saved.
A movie edited with a personal computer  cannot be rewritten to the card and 
played back with the camera.
