Storing the Camera
◗
Keep the lens covered (power turned off) and store the
camera in a carrying case or bag when you’re not
using it.
◗
When the camera is not used for long periods of time,
remove the batteries and store them at a low temperature
in a dry location. This prevents camera damage from
battery leaks or corrosion.

on a car dashboard
◗
Near bright sources of light or high humidity
◗
Near heat sources or in a closed car or trunk
◗
In areas of excessive dirt or dust
◗
Where it will be exposed to strong vibrations or
magnetic fields
