Salt water also conducts electricity, so if your camera’s circuit board is exposed to salt water, it’s likely to surge and of course damage your camera. If rust develops, the mechanical functions of your gadget can be disrupted or even destroyed. If not, your camera will be prone to rust. If your camera comes into contact with sea water, clean and dry it immediately. Therefore, if you buy a digital camera, always have extra funds to buy a dry cabinet for storage when not in use (especially if you live in a tropical climate).
But if left for longer and it starts to spread, mold can permanently damage the surface of the lens. Tiny splotches of mold on your camera/lens can still be cleaned. Affects of humidity in the short term may not be too noticeable for your camera, but if your camera is left in a humid environment for long periods of time, it’ll trigger the growth of mod on your lens and camera body. Humid air is an often unknown enemy of your camera. When you’re shooting at a beach or a desert area, don’t swap your lenses too often, if at all. Sand can also make things worse if it makes its way inside the mechanical system of the camera this can damage the performance of the camera. Like dust, sand particles are bound to damage the quality of your photo if it ends up in your camera.
Always have a camera blower handy to blow out those dust specs that’s made its way inside your camera.
And when you do, be sure to do it in a clean and calm (not windy) room. To avoid dust build up, don’t swap lenses too often. Dust can enter the interior of the camera, dirtying the camera sensor or the lens and making little dust spots appear in the photographs it takes.
Here are some things you should consider that can affect the performance of your camera:ĭust is the first problem that cameras often encounter, especially cameras with an interchangeable lens function. But that’s just a guesstimate of the count and not the definitive value. Maybe you’ve read in several web reviews about the maximum counts of say the 5Dmk II which is 100k shutter counts while the 1D mk IV can reach up to 200k counts. Sure, the more frequently a camera is used, the greater the chance of damage but the figures on the shutter count can’t be used as a reference to the length of the camera’s remaining working life. There’s some truth in that, but it’s not all there is to it. Many assumes that the shutter count of a camera determines the age of the camera.
