Do you shut your camera off before changing lenses ?

Yes I always do

My answer used to be NO but now it's a definite YES (so long as I remember), having read all the good arguments in this thread.

Thanks for asking the question.

i don't remember changing lenses with camera been ON,always turn it off.

I know I'm supposed to because the static can attract dust. But I've never always done what I'm supposed to do...

besides I forget sometimes.

I merely do it so the sensor gets a little shake when I turn on the camera after the lens change. Just in case a piece or two of dust flew in.

I'm supposed to, but I forget to a lot of the time. Once in a while when I leave the camera on (GF1), it won't focus with the new lens until I turn it off and on again. Maybe that's why that's in the manual rather than damage risk.
