Hi,
I thought I'd share this one with the EL* owners out there.
Everyone, well, almost everyone, knows that you should take your batteries out of the camera when it is not in use for a longer
period of time.
Most of you have probably never seen what can happen if you forget
to do so. Below is a picture of an 553ELX that suffered from a bad
case of leakage.
Literally millimeters of aluminium have been 'eaten away' from the
cast aluminium motor compartment
I managed to get things working again, but this is not fun. So if
your EL* is in hibernation in a cupboard, make sure it will not become
the next victim.
