The Low-Pass Filter
The image sensor that acts as the camera’s picture element is fitted with a low-pass
filter to prevent moiré. If you suspect that dirt or dust on the filter is appearing in
photographs, you can clean the filter using the
Clean image sensor
option in the
setup menu. The filter can be cleaned at any time using the
Clean now
option, or
cleaning can be performed automatically when the camera is turned on or off.
