Protect Your Camera by Keeping it Cool This Summer Season - Associated Content Posted: 15 Jun 2010 10:34 AM PDT Summer's coming and you plan on keeping yourself cool. But you must not forget that there's a "friend" that you'll carry around a lot in the summer that needs cooling too: your camera. The summer heat can be really damaging for a camera, so you need to take care of it and protect it as much as possible. Well, that's what this article's about. You'll be learning some tricks to get your camera safe through the summer. I think one of the biggest mistake people do regarding their cameras is leaving them exposed to direct sunlight with the lens cap off and the lens pointing upwards. You should never do that; it creates irreparable or expensive to repair damages. If you're going to the beach, it is best if you use an insulated camera bag to keep it safe. If you do not own one, here's the perfect place to find out the nearest shop you can buy one from: http://www.lowepro.com/intl. If you don't have a case and for some reason you don't want to purchase one, here's the next best thing: you can wrap your camera in a light colored beach towel and that will keep it safe as well. Keeping it under a beach umbrella can help also, just remember, the sunlight exposing it's the worst thing that can happen during the summer to your camera. Don't leave your camera in the car when is parked. We all know that the temperature in a car can easily surpass 100 degrees in the summer time. If you must, the best thing to do is keep it in an insulated bag or put it place it in the trunk or under the seat. This is a good way of preventing auto theft. When buying a camera, read the manual to find out what extreme temperatures your camera can withstand. Try and not keep your camera in places that have a higher temperature that indicated. If you kept your camera exposed to the sun, don't try using it while it's still hot. You should wait until its cooler and you should also try to not move it around so much. When overheated, the camera's lubricants and glues are softened and moving it would only make a mess inside it. Now that you know all this, you can keep your camera protected from heating. Have a great summer! Sources: http://www.brighthub.com/ Five Filters featured article: Headshot - Propaganda, State Religion and the Attack On the Gaza Peace Flotilla.
