Is it necessary to clean or change the dust collection components?
It is not necessary to clean or change the dust collection components under normal use for several years. The dust collection system can easily deal with particles that are a result of the dust-reduction system. If the camera is used constantly in severe conditions, Olympus recommends that the camera body be sent to an authorized Olympus repair service center approximately at an interval of three to five years. As part of Olympus’ normal camera service maintainence, the dust-collection components are replaced.
