The X-ray observatory XMM-Newton is now in orbit for more than 5 years. The performance of the EPIC-pn CCD camera has been monitored since and its calibration has been improved steadily. We report in this presentation on our recent investigations in different calibration issues: Data of the on-board Fe-55 calibration source were used for monitoring the charge transfer efficiency (CTE) degradation. A special calibration observation of the line-rich supernova remnant Cas-A in the extended Full Frame Mode was used to refine the energy calibration in this mode. Together with ground measurements, a non-routine observation of the calibration target N132D will lead to an improvement of the CTE correction of the Large Window Mode.
