Automatic Sensor Cleaning - Canon EOS-1D C Instruction Manual

f Automatic Sensor Cleaning
Whenever you set the power switch to <1/R> or <2>, the
Self Cleaning Sensor Unit operates to automatically shake off the dust
on the front of the sensor. Normally, you need not pay attention to this
operation. However, you can select to perform sensor cleaning at any
time, or disable it.
Cleaning the Sensor Now
For best results, perform the sensor cleaning with the camera placed
upright and stable on a table or other flat surface.
Even if you repeat the sensor cleaning, the result will not improve much.
Immediately after the sensor cleaning is finished, the [Clean nowf]
option will remain disabled temporarily.
Disabling Automatic Sensor Cleaning
In step 2, select [Auto cleaningf] and set it to [Disable].
The sensor cleaning will no longer be executed when you set the
power switch to <1/R> or <2>.
