Camera care after the beach
Jun 18, 2012 18:16:02 #
I am wondering ,after taking my 60D and my 100 400 L lens down to the beach , is there a safe way to get the salt residue off the body and lens ? No matter if they get wet or not there is so much salt in the air , does anyone have a habit for cleaning after the beach they would like to share ?

Garden hose or power washer. ;)
I'd imagine you could wipe it down with a damp cloth - does the owner's manual have any suggestions?

Yeah, take to a professional and have him do it. Professionals know what the are doing. You don't. Remember the first rule:

I dont think taking it to a professional every time I go to the beach is a realistic idea but thanks for responding .

I would suggest you get a cheap beach camera. I would suggest you get the dslr cleaned by a professional. the salt can kill the electronics.

OK - how about some common sense here - when at the beach keep your camera covered as much as possible - wipe it down with a very soft cloth and use a fine brush - no fluids of any kind.
A few very large Zip lock bags, the ones a little larger than the size of your camera works fine - a fresh one every time you use it as fresh one have no moisture, sand or dust.
Enjoy the beach & your camera as my 5 yrs living on the beach I never damaged any of my cameras again common sense and caution will work fine.
