Getting smoke out of a camera.

[ecvogel]

I am trying out a old Canon EOS 10D if I like it pay what I can afford or take person out to dinner. The person is a smoker, the box the camera came in (original) horrible smoke smell. Camera has a bit of it. Is there anything I can do besides let it sit out?

There is no lense on it right now. Is it dangous to leave the safty cover off to the prizim?

Yes it is dangerous to leave the cover off. I would think the camera would be fine internally if it always had a lens or body cap on. If not it might need a sensor cleaning or more.

Thanks, I will leave it on and hope it can just air out in the basement. I cannot have it in a living active areas due to allergies.

It will have a dew more days. Memory card should be in this week and battery next week. I wanted to get the BP-511 but I guess that is discontinued for got a BP-511a made by Canon. I only buy OEM batteries.
