keithsnyder Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 When the instructions give the temperature range for a digital camera or storage card, is that the range to which it should be exposed in general, or just at which it should be operated? I stuck a recording thermometer in my trunk (silver-colored car, left windows cracked, parked trunk pointing away from sun), and on a few days that only got up into the very low 80s, it registered 117�. The book says 104�. What if I let it cool before turning it on? What if a card is in the glove box? That sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obakesan Posted June 30, 2006 Share Posted June 30, 2006 Hi Lubricant, grease and things become more mobile at higher temperatures. I had lubricant film become visible on a lens (which required cleaning) once when a lens was subjected to over 45 deg C. (Australian outback can get hot) naturally YMMV, but if you can, avoid it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
