How do you use a digital camera?

A digital camera can be a very expensive investment. Despite all of the safeguards that manufacturers build into the units, they are still relatively fragile and need to be taken care of in order to last as long as possible and avoid malfunctions.

The most obvious rule is to avoid dropping the camera. A camera case or strap can help prevent this from happening. Keep the strap around your wrist when using or carrying the camera so that even if you inadvertently let go, the strap will stop the camera from falling.

Be careful not to touch the camera lens. If the lens is not automatically covered when the camera is not in use, keep the camera in a case. It is very difficult to clean the camera lens, especially if oils from your fingers are deposited on it. A dirty lens will yield very poor pictures.

Keep the battery charged. While this is not absolutely vital, it will help in some situations. Modern batteries are different from the older cadmium batteries in that they do not have a charge “memory’. This means it will not hurt the battery to charge it if it is only at fifty or seventy-five percent of charge.

Keep the storage card clean. You may be removing the storage card to use in printers or to load images onto your computer. Make sure that you do not touch the gold or silver colored connectors on the card. Also make sure that there is no dust on the card before you insert it into the drive in the camera.

If your digital camera has an LCD display, use a screen guard. The large display area, usually on the back of the camera, can be easily scratched and eventually damaged. Screen guards are small pieces of plastic that adhere to the LCD display. They are cheap and can be easily replaced.

Finally, it is important to occasionally clean your camera. The surface can collect dust and this dust can make its way into the circuitry of the camera through the space around the buttons or battery/card compartment. Just wipe the camera down gently with a very lightly moistened paper towel. Avoid touching the lens.

Dedicating just a small amount of time to taking care of your digital camera can help to keep it working like new for years to come.
