Is it safe to change lenses on a Digital SLR when the camera is on?
I have a Canon XTi. I was changing lenses and my friend said that if I do that without turning the camera on, it attracts dust and can harm my camera. His photography teacher told him this. I looked thru my manuals and saw no mention of this. Anyone know anything about this?
Here’s why:
“On some cameras the sensor has an electric charge that will actually attract dust to it like a magnet.”
