How to maintain the camera?

Digital cameras can take pictures with film and fully charged batteries, but in addition, they need maintenance, and there are various forms of maintenance.

1. Put the camera in the bag. First of all, you need a sturdy camera bag to hold the camera, digital memory card and battery kit. Luxury requires an auxiliary lens or a small portable tripod.

Leading manufacturers of camera bags such as Tamrac, 10wepm and Domke use high-quality raw materials, better shock resistance and excellent watchbands and metal hardware. These devices have been reduced in size and are more suitable for placing digital cameras.

If you want to buy a new camera bag, you'd better find a bigger one. If you buy a camera bag and take everything out every time you take something, you won't like it, because it will miss many good shooting opportunities and be very annoying. When buying a camera bag, you'd better bring your camera and accessories to see which camera bag suits you best.

How to carry a satchel is also very particular. Adjust the strap on the camera bag. Don't let the camera be too far away from your body, or it will bounce off your body and hit others or other objects. Ideally, the camera bag should be hung higher, which can protect your arm from collision and thieves. At the same time, it should be noted that the lens inward (towards your body) can also play a protective role when carrying the camera.

2. Keeping the stains on the camera lens clean will seriously reduce the image quality, appear spots or weaken the image contrast. Fingers touching the lens is inevitable, and dust and gravel will also fall on the optical devices.

That's why we need to clean the camera. Cleaning tools are simple: lens paper or fine tools with fiber cloth, lens brush, cleaning suit. Never use cardboard, paper towels or napkins to clean the lens. These products all contain scratched wood pulp, which will seriously damage the fragile coating on the camera lens.

When cleaning paper is not used, put the microfiber cleaning cloth into the original container to keep it clean. Microfiber cloth is very washable and can be washed with clothes regularly. Try not to use cotton T-shirts or other fibers, because coarse gravel may seep in. If you use a brush to clean the dust and debris on the lens, do not touch the hair on the brush with your hands or fingers. The oil on your skin will infect your hair and then stick to the lens.

Another way to clean the dust on the lens is to use the lens frequently. If your camera has a lens cover, you can fix it on the camera body with a belt, a rubber band or a "lens fixing" device.

Hot and cold weather can also affect the camera. If the camera was originally placed in an air-conditioned room and then immediately placed in a hot and humid environment, fog spots would appear on the lens and viewfinder. At this time, it is necessary to clean it with a suitable paper towel or cloth. If you bring the camera into the room from the cold and dry outdoor, you'd better put it in your bag to preheat it, and then take it out and put it in the house. And carefully hold the camera to see if it is "sweating". If you sweat, take immediate action.

A suggestion from a professional photographer is simple, and you may not believe it: take a plastic zipper lock bag with you. In very humid or dusty climate, you can dig a small hole just enough to put the camera lens on the side, and then put the camera in a bag to prevent fog, moisture and dust from entering the camera, which can prolong its service life.

Don't put the camera in the back seat of a car with high humidity. The car is like a stove, which will deform the plastic and damage the wires.

Many manufacturers will suggest that if the camera is not used for more than two weeks, it is best to take out the battery, because the battery will leak and rot, sometimes affecting the circuit connection, making the camera unable to work normally.
