Digicam Care

By Johanna Waldorf


After laying out money on a top-notch digicam, it is important to take the time to maintain it correctly. Your camera will last for much longer if you take preventative measures to keep it in the best condition.

The most important, and delicate, element of your digital camera is the camera lens. This acts as your window to the world, and once scratched it will need pro intervention to fix. For that reason, it is important that you protect the lens. First off, when you are not taking stills your lens cap ought to be on to keep the lens clean. Do not touch the lens immediately with your finger. The oils left behind by your skin will be hard to remove, making the view fuzzy at best. If your lens should get dusty or soiled, use a cleaner and cloth made specifically for cleaning camera lenses.

The body of your camera should also be kept clean and free of debris. Keep the camera in a case or pouch when not in use. If it should get filthy, wipe it down with a soft dry cloth. If you camera has an LCD panel, it is alright to breath lightly on it to add slight bit of moisture before wiping it down with a soft fabric.

Digicams should really be kept dry. Most cameras are not water-proof, and should not be in circumstances where they may be submerged in liquid or perhaps splashed. If your camera should get wet, it's a good idea to turn it off, remove the battery, and remove the memory storage. Leave the camera out to air dry for one to two days. At that point if the camera isn't functioning properly you'll need to contact a professional repair company or the maker for advice.

Generally, your camera will do best if stored in mild, dry conditions. Extreme temperatures can be damaging so try hard not to leave your camera in your vehicle or any super sunny locations. Another good idea is to save the silica gel packets that come with a lot of purchases to prevent moisture damage, and put them in the drawer or container where your camera is stored. If you plan to store your camera for a long period of time without use, you must first remove the battery from the camera. This precaution will forestall damage in case the battery should leak.

Ultimately, if you are planning to take stills in a location where you think there will be a higher risk of damage from water or soil or other conditions purchase a throwaway camera and leave your digital at home. Better safe than sorrowful.

In the same way, pictures ought to be taken care or else captured moments will be rubbed out for evermore. Try utilising Digital Picture Frame, no more fuss and you can save your money for printing.
