I just got the dm-50 canon mic and it says in the instructions not to store the camera with the microphone attached. Is there actually a reason not to do this or is this one of those instructions that was put on there for unknown reasons?

That's a complete mystery to me. Anyone else?

I'm confused as well. I have the dm-50 mic and I do not store it on the camera just because. I guess i like to keep it safely stored in its own bag. another thing, i use a lowelpro packsack to store the camera. it has its own spot for the cam, and the mic would not fit there. but i can't remember anything by canon addressing not storing dm-50 on cam.
