C Caring for Your Camera

Taking some basic precautions when using your camera will
enhance your digital camera experience.

Basic Camera Care

You should take some basic precautions to ensure that your
camera continues to perform optimally.
• Store your digital camera in a cool, dry place away from
windows, furnaces, and damp basements.
• Always turn the camera off when you are not using it, to
protect the lens. When the camera is off, the camera lens
retracts and the lens wink mechanism closes over the lens
to protect it.
• Clean your camera body, Image Display, and lens
regularly with cleaning supplies designed specifically for
cameras. See Cleaning the Camera on page 160.
• Keep your camera and accessories in a padded case
with a good strap for easy transport. Most HP digital
camera cases have built-in pockets for batteries and
memory cards. See Purchasing Camera Accessories on
page 155.
• Always keep your camera equipment with you as
carry-on when you travel. Never check it with the
suitcases, since rough handling and extreme weather
can damage it.
