Caring for the Camera

Storage

When the camera will not be used for an extended period, replace
the monitor cover, remove the battery, and store the battery in a
cool, dry area with the terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or
mildew, store the camera in a dry, well-ventilated area. Do not
store your camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in
locations that:
• are poorly ventilated or subject to humidities of over 60%
• are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic
fields, such as televisions or radios
• are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C (122 °F) or below
–10 °C (14 °F)
