TIP
When traveling in a car, always secure your camera.
If you have to brake suddenly, and the camera is not
secure, it will continue moving at the speed of the car
until it strikes something solid, like the dashboard, which
can severely damage the sensitive circuitry in your
camera. If you??™re traveling alone, place your camera bag
in the passenger??™s seat and secure it with the seatbelt. If
you own a point-and-shoot camera that you house in a
small case, keep the camera in your glove box or some
other location in the car where it won??™t become airborne
if you have to suddenly brake. Another alternative is to
hook the camera strap around the head rest.

Clean a Digital SLR Image Sensor
If you own a digital SLR and notice what looks like dust specks on your images,
you may need to clean your camera??™s sensor. Clean the camera??™s image sensor
by removing the lens and then using a menu command to flip up the mirror.
While the mirror is locked in the upward position, use a gentle burst of air from
a blower to dislodge any dust that may have accumulated on the image sensor
when you changed lenses.
