2. Cameras and lenses are not waterproof and should not be used in the rain or around liquids

3. Never touch the mirror in the Canon camera body or the glass on the either side of any of the camera lenses

caps on when not in use• Never store lenses on their side (they can roll)• For the Sony HandyCams, always close the shutter doors

when not filming

2. Open door at bottom of camera
