Dust Cleaning System

(1) Self Cleaning Sensor Unit
- Automatic Sensor Cleaning
- Removes dust adhering to the infrared- and ultraviolet-blocking glass.
- Self-cleaning executed automatically when power is turned on or off. Manual execution also possible.
- Low-pass filter has a fluorine coating.

(2) Dust Delete Data acquisition and appending
- The coordinates of the dust adhering to the infrared- and ultraviolet-blocking glass are detected by a test shot and appended to subsequent images.
- The dust coordinate data appended to the image is used by the provided software to automatically erase the dust spots.

(3) Manual cleaning
