Originally posted by JeffJS Yes, and Yes. There is a Clean mode that raises the mirror and opens the shutter. Make sure your batteries are charged, you don't want the mirror flopping down when you have the blower nozzle in there. The Clean mode is usually found in the Settings Menu (Sensor Cleaning).
Good luck..
oh and should i have the camera sitting on the table or pointed downwards so any dust can be blown and fal out rather than just moved to another location?
