Avoid leaving the camera unused for
long periods of time. This can cause
mold to grow on the camera as well
as other problems. Try to press the
shutter release button and check the operation of the camera before use. 
When boarding an airplane, do not put rolls of exposed film into your
film speed. If your camera has film in
it, do not put it in your
luggage either. Otherwise, airport X-
ray machines may cause the film to be exposed. Always bring your film
and camera on board yourself. Also,
when carrying film in your hand luggage, give it to the security officer
for manual inspection so that the film does not have to pass through
machines.
