How to keep your camera and lens.

When we put the camera in places such as waterfalls, sea, forest or not taken by the sea. When I travel trips. Should the rubber bellows. Dust blown away by the camera. Then wipe clean. By wiping with a damp cloth. Wipe the corners and the rubber grip on the handle and with To clear the salt from my sweat you out there. The salinity of sweat is the main cause for the swelling of the rubber itself.

Bring your camera and lens from the sun. The cameras are used. Press a shock. Once a month is better ... not only preserves your camera in the store for months. To sunlight, moisture inside the camera and lens to evaporation are gone. But do not leave it in the sun to me. The tires will wear out in a dry box at random.

Where the camera is better?

Be careful to keep the camera that I did not know that many people. Avoid storing the camera in the closet, refrigerator, pantry, tucked under the under the stairs or storage, for example, as in the closet with very high humidity, if the camera is to put just mold the lens though and mold the lens must be submitted. Steam clean only. I have the code to coating on the lens surface with destruction.

Moisture can buy a box for the camera.

The cover should be sealed. There are air and moisture from penetrating the tire. I vacuum my box. Purchased by a Super Target as they are super lock box to choose a quality brand. When the box is saved. Also, do not be complacent. Factors in the ceiling - there's also keep in mind that at least 15 days to open the box.

 Buy online. Available in two colors: white and blue, white if the desiccant becomes saturated and blue. The blue adsorption time until saturation becomes pink.

The needle is used to punch holes in the bag, zip it. Not recommended to put a desiccant bag in the box because it does not help anything.

The measurement equipment.

Available online camera store. If it's digital, it will be more expensive later. To view the humidity inside the box. And be careful not to put a lot drier than I would have rubber frame. Or at least to absorb moisture, it will have failed to work. Optimum moisture content is approximately 40-50% RH.


How these may seem trivial, but they should be trained to keep this camera as a character at all times. The camera is one thousand thousand price. Should care for me. If it's a lot better when you have to pay thousands for a management deal for me.
