thanks a lot bro...this is really helpful smile.gif

maybe something to add about storing batteries..

use it (or charge it) until around 50%, and keep them wrapped in something, plastic bag would do. then store in the fridge to retain the battery lifespan. even if u're not storing it in a fridge, juz remember to wrap the battery in something to avoid the connectors touching any conductors that would cause short circuit

a few days ago i was driving home n noticed an open burning during a beautiful sunset. i didnt have my camera with me, so i drove home, get my dslr n come back (all in all maybe just 5mins)...but at the time the sunset was gone

so my question...is there a safe way to store a camera in my car all the time? so i wont miss a shot tongue.gif safe from thieves, from heat, from bumps n everything

Here's what is stated in the my DSLR manual:

PRECAUTION

Do not use/store the camera in the following places:
- In an extremely hot, dry or humid place. In places such as in a car parked in the sun, the camera body may become deformed  sweat.gif  and this may cause a malfunction.
