Handle With Care: Tips For Maintaining Dslr Cameras
So, you’ve got yourself a DSLR. Whether it’s an old one or a high-end new release,
it’s a must for you to keep your camera maintained for it to last long. Many owners
(including some professionals) fail to take care of their cameras simply because they
do not know how to do it. Keep your camera in top shape with these tips.
Store your camera in a cool, dry place. Photographers love taking pictures of
beaches because of the beautiful scenery. However, it is one of the worst places for
cameras because of the humidity, which can ruin the imaging sensor and costs a lot
to repair. Always keep your camera dry and avoid exposing it to extreme weather
conditions. To prevent problems, store your camera in a padded protective bag.
Clean your lenses. Use a soft microfiber cloth to wipe off particles like dust, sand,
or smoke that can ruin your camera’s lenses and body. You can also remove dirt by
using sensor-cleaning tools that can be bought in a photography shop or online. If
your camera needs serious, professional cleaning, bring it to the nearest service
center for proper care.
Use caps or hoods as needed. Lens caps exist to protect camera lenses. Some
photographers are all about putting the cap on when the camera is not in use.
However, putting it on and taking it off often can take a toll on the lens. If you’re not
a fan of lens caps, you can try using hoods, which also protects the camera from
glares, dust, and more.

Keep water out of reach. Be careful around water as it can kill your equipment
and memory card, too. If you need to carry it during a heavy rainfall, use a Ziploc
bag and keep a microfiber cloth close.
