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 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.
  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.

3Photograph a solid-white object.
 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.
XThe 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.
X When the picture is taken, the camera 
will start obtaining the Dust Delete 
Data. When the Dust Delete 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 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.
