Maintenance of Digital Camera Battery

Activating the battery once every two months, that is, charging and discharging once, can effectively extend the battery life. The following are the maintenance suggestions for digital camera batteries for your reference.

After using the camera, most photographers habitually put the camera in a camera bag or cabinet, and the battery is not taken out for separate storage. This seems to be no problem, but it is not conducive to battery protection.

Usually, if you don't use the camera for more than 15 days, it's best to take the battery out of the camera and store it in a dry and cool place alone. Don't store the battery with metal objects.

According to our investigation, most digital cameras on the market now use lithium batteries, which are relatively convenient to store. The only thing to note is that if you don't use it for a long time, it is best to activate the battery every two months, that is, charge and discharge it once, which can effectively extend the battery life.

As for Ni-MH-5 battery, the most annoying thing is the memory effect, which will reduce the total capacity and service life of the battery, and with the passage of time, the stored charge will be less and less, and the battery consumption will be faster and faster. Therefore, try to use up the electricity before charging, and be sure to fully charge it before cutting off the power supply.

If you use alkaline battery temporarily when you go out, you must remember to take it out in time, otherwise, once you don't use it for a long time, the battery will easily leak and corrode the circuit, and the camera will be scrapped.

Preservation of photographic equipment

The preservation of cameras has always been a small problem. It is windy and dusty in the north and too humid in the south. If you put the camera in your bag or naked on the table for a long time, it will affect the performance of the camera over time, so how to create a good storage environment for the camera?

Fresh-keeping storage compartment

I want to introduce this from three different grades. For low-priced consumer-grade digital cameras, it is obviously not worth the loss if you buy a professional drying oven to store them, so I suggest using a better sealed lunch box to store them. These can be found in large supermarkets. The volume can be adjusted freely according to the camera size, and the price ranges from 15-30 yuan. If you are in a southern city, you can buy a small bag of desiccant and put it in the rainy season to dehumidify (if you go to the seaside or where the air is humid, you'd better dehumidify the camera after you come back).

drying furnace

For those users who use high-end consumer digital cameras and entry-level digital SLR cameras, I suggest buying ordinary plastic drying boxes. This kind of plastic drying oven is small in size, but it is absolutely no problem to keep one machine with three heads. The price is generally around 100- 150 yuan, and the drying oven with higher price is usually equipped with a hygrometer. As for the drying problem, color-changing silica gel can be used to solve it. Its appearance is blue particles, and the color changes from blue to red after moisture absorption. Generally, photographic equipment is sold in the market and chemical stores. It is absolutely no problem to use a large box for half a year. Its price is about 15 yuan, and it can be heated, dehydrated and reused in a micro furnace, and the effect is very good!

According to the regulations of the International Camera Industry Association, when the temperature is higher than 10℃ or the humidity is higher than 60%RH, mold will breed. Therefore, it is necessary for enthusiasts who use high-end equipment, especially high-end lenses, to buy more sophisticated electronic drying ovens. This drying oven can be divided into low-temperature electronic moistureproof box and normal-temperature electronic moistureproof box. Normal temperature electronic oven adopts suction electronic automatic moisture-proof system and adopts suction dehumidification at normal temperature, which has the characteristics that dehumidification efficiency is not affected by environmental temperature, and is the mainstream product of electronic oven in the market at present. Mainstream brands include Fanuc and Dr. Gan, with prices ranging from 300 yuan to 2,000 yuan. However, considering the economy and practicality, 40 liters is the most suitable for ordinary players.
