• Keep away from camphorCamphor including the destructive objects very ‘powerful’ to the camera, which can insulate-the cameras and other camera parts, rubber based. In the electronic camera, camphor can damage the track on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board), which is where the chip-chip camera is mounted and some elements of the chip itself. Even the camphor vapor can also stain and make the ‘spots’ on the lens.
Instead, keep the camera in an airtight place, cool and dry. If the price of a special cabinet for storage of the camera is too expensive for you, you can look for alternative storage media as his successor. Like for example, you can keep the camera in a sealed jar and in it are silica gel, to absorb moisture.
Or, you can also store it in a closet that has governed air circulation and humidity. How, by installing a powerful 5-watt lamp and placed at a distance of approximately 40 cm above the camera and other equipment. Do not forget to open the wrapper the camera and clean it of dust before storing.
Remember, damage caused by camera camphor usually can not be repaired anymore. So, do not ever save any camera in the closet that has been filled camphor or camphor fragrance clothes.
• Avoid Direct Contact with Sun Rays
Take care not to get sunburn camera or exposed to direct sunlight and excessive. High heat can damage camera parts made of plastic and rubber, as well as other electronic components.
• Take care of the Excessive Shocks
Do not forget to put them in a special bag camera, in order to avoid excessive shocks to the external environment and the clash of equipment. Put the camera in a secure and resilient to shocks.
• Clean the camera and lens
Should cameras be cleaned once a week or regularly and periodically. To the outside of the physical camera, use a clean dry cloth and not abusive. As for the inside and small elements, use a blower or blowers are sold in camera stores. In addition to the blower, can also be used fine filamentous brush, which has never been used on other objects.
To clean the lens of the affected spots, such as a greasy finger exposed to water or perspiration of the wearer, wear a special tissue that are sold in stores
• Avoid Scratches on the Lens
To avoid scratches, you should have a filter thread lens permanently mounted on the front. A common filter is a type of filter to be protective UV (Ultra Violet) or skylight filter. Meanwhile, to avoid scratches on the back of the lens, try to always put ‘body cup’ when the lens cover removed from the camera body.
• Avoid Sea Water
If you use the camera on the beach, keep the camera is not exposed to sea water or even falling into it. Sea water is very bad and cause corrosion potential of the camera or other electronic devices. except that is designed to adapt with it.
After use in coastal areas, cleaning the camera must be done as soon as possible. Sea water vapor often leave salt crystals that cause rust on the camera. If at any point, your camera is accidentally splashed into the sea water, soak your camera directly into fresh water, then rinse several times to remove traces of sea water.
The process of destruction by seawater take place very quickly and within minutes after falling, so that when the rinsing water is not done as soon as possible, a camera that splashed into the sea water will not be saved. After rinsed clean of sea water, take it immediately to a specialist camera service to clean and dry the camera.
• Reliable Service in place or the Official
Periodically, within a certain time, a digital camera should be serviced to a special place, and even better trusted official. Do not wait for the new camera is broken and then serviced. Service in question is ‘great service’, which includes cleaning the inside of the camera, such as cleaning the lens of fungi or adjustments are also the main settings of the camera.
Do not be too frequent washing or cleaning the inside lens when moldy. Glass lens so sensitive. The more frequent cleaning, can result in image quality will decline. To maintain and care for her, should not be stored in your wardrobe, because that would potentially invite fungus attached to the lens inside the camera.
