Title: Storing Digital SLR Post by: bobsloop on June 25, 2008, 04:02:20 PM I bought my first Digital SLR (Canon 40D) yesterday. I love it. However, I don't see much information about how to store it when I am not using it. I got the 28-135mm lens. Should I detach the lens after each use or leave it attached at all times? Also, should I remove the battery or leave it in? Any information you can provide would be very much appreciated.

There's no need to remove the battery, though I guess if you don't use it for months it wouldn't hurt to do so. |
