Need Advice - Long term storage of Digital camera

Greetings! I have three digital cameras. One pocketable, one with long
zoom and one for (Olympus C-4040) for low light events. I use C-4040
once or twice a year. How do I put this camera for long term storage?
Shall I take the batteries (rechargable NiMh batteries) out? With
thanks.

You should remove the batteries if you are not going to use the camera
for 30 days or more. Actually for shorter periods of time just leave the
battery cover open.

If you store the camera witoiut batteries, or if the batteries lose their
charge, the camera's settings will revert to the default settings. Other
than that, there is no harm if you leave the batteries out. After all, that
is the state the camera was in when you bought it.
