123 Caring for Your Camera
C Caring for Your Camera
Your HP camera has been designed to withstand most
conditions under which you would normally take pictures.
However, you should take some basic precautions when
using your camera (see Basic Camera Care below) and
clean it regularly (see Cleaning the Camera on page 125).
Basic Camera Care
You should take some basic precautions to ensure that your
camera continues to perform optimally.
• Before storing the camera, wipe moisture from the camera
body with a clean, dry, soft cloth.
• Whenever you go from a cold location to a warm one
(from a snowy mountain to a hotel room, for example),
wrap the camera tightly in a plastic bag. Let the camera
adapt to the warmer temperature for about an hour
before removing it from the plastic bag. Doing so will
help prevent condensation inside the camera and extend
its life.
• Store your digital camera in a cool, dry place away from
windows, furnaces, and damp basements.
• Always slide the lens cover over the lens when you are
not using your camera. This precaution not only protects
the lens from dust and scratches but also conserves
battery life.
