Shutter Box Philippines :: Digital Photography and A Whole Lot More

The EOS 400D is the first camera to incorporate the EOS Integrated Cleaning System. Based on significant research into the causes of dust in D-SLR cameras, the system combats dust in three important ways: Reduce, Repel and Remove.

1. Reduce - Internal camera mechanisms are designed to minimise dust generation. The body cap is redesigned to prevent dust generation through wear on the cap itself.
    
2. Repel - Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the front of the sensor so as not to attract dust.
    
3. Remove - A Self-Cleaning Sensor Unit uses hi-frequency vibrations to shake dust from the low pass filter for a period of approximately one second after each start up. For instant shooting after power up, this feature is disabled immediately the shutter release is depressed.

Canon has also developed an internal Dust Delete Data system, which can map the position of any visible dust on the sensor. This can then be deleted automatically after the shoot with the latest Digital Photo Professional software.

The guys at DPReview has short youTube video clip on how Canon EOS 400D’s Integrated Cleaning System works. The Integrated Cleaning System is Canon’s version of Dust Reduction. This new addition sure is a welcome feature for an entry level DSLR camera.
