Technical Notes—Caring for Your Camera

184

Storage

When the camera will not be used for an extended period, replace the moni-

tor cover, remove the battery, and store the battery in a cool, dry area with the

terminal cover in place. To prevent mold or mildew, store the camera in a dry,

well-ventilated area. For long-term storage, place the camera in a plastic bag

containing a desiccant (note that desiccant gradually loses its capacity to ab-

sorb moisture and should be replaced at regular intervals). Do not store your

camera with naphtha or camphor moth balls or in locations that:

•are poorly ventilated or damp

•are next to equipment that produces strong electromagnetic fields, such as

televisions or radios

•are exposed to temperatures above 50 °C/122 °F (for example, near a space

heater or in a closed vehicle on a hot day) or below –10 °C (14 °F)

•are subject to humidities of over 60%

To prevent mold or mildew, take the camera out of storage at least once a

month. Turn the camera on and release the shutter a few times before put-

ting the camera away again.

Caring for Your Camera

Storage and Maintenance

Servicing the Camera and Accessories

Your camera is a precision device and requires regular servicing. We recommend that

you have your camera inspected by your retailer or Nikon service representative once

every one to two years, and that you have it serviced once every three to five years (note

that fees apply to these services). Frequent inspection and servicing are particularly

recommended if you use your camera professionally. When having your camera in-

spected or serviced, we recommend that you bring any accessories regularly used with

the camera, such as lenses or optional Speedlights.
