Do you remove the battery, memory card and lens from the body before storage or if you will not be using it for a while?
What are the advantages and disadvantages of not removing?
Thanks.
i remove my body battery as soon as i remove memory card for uploading
Magic Lantern bug... the body will continually seek the memory card (or any memory card) until battery exhausted.
How long is your "for not be using it for a while?" 3 months? 6 months? 1 year or more?
I have 10 over pieces of memory cards, if it is not inside cameras, it will be inside memory card wallets, so it won't get lost easier. it makes no different inside camera or outside camera.
I don't remove battery from my cameras, I recharge them after each use, even it is only use for about 100 shots, and recharge my spare battery periodically. camera batteries need to store in charged state.
I don't dismount lenses when I store my cameras unless run out of space. FYI, 9 cameras in my dry cabinet
4 DSLRs, 1 SLR, 1 medium format (3 lenses, 4 film backs), 3 compacts, a couple of lenses, two flash, and blar blar blar.....9 cameras ?....WOW
9 cameras ?....WOW
Exactly, knowledge helps. It's the type of battery (Alcaline, NiMH, LiIon) and not the form factor (AA, button cells) that determines handling and usage. A set of AA Li-Ion type forgotten in the flash gun will not do any harm, not so the Alcaline ones used as backup in last shooting. On the other hand, using Li-Ion in household devices like remote controls will only destroy the batteries.there are many types of batteries we are using in our photography, it worth our time and efforts to know more about them, how to use them, and maintaining them.
