(1) Self Cleaning Sensor Unit • Removes dust adhering to the low-pass filter.

• At power off only / Enable / Disable.
• Performed automatically (taking about approx. 2 sec. as indicated on the screen) or manually (taking about approx. 8 sec. as indicated on the screen).
• After manually activated cleaning, the camera will automatically restart (Power OFF to ON).

(2) Dust Delete Data acquisition and appending

• The coordinates of the dust adhering to the low-pass filter are detected by a test shot and appended to subsequent images.
• The dust coordinate data appended to the image is used by the EOS software to automatically erase the dust spots.
• Not available with RF-S/EF-S lenses, in cropped shooting, during focus bracket shooting, in FAW burst mode, or multiple-exposure shooting.
