How should I store the rain cover when not in use?

Troubleshooting

Rain cover does not fit snugly around the lens.

Ensure you are using the correct size eyecup for your camera body. Adjust the drawstrings or closures around the lens for a tighter fit. For very large lenses, consider if this medium size is appropriate or if a larger cover is needed.

Visibility through transparent windows is reduced.

Wipe the transparent windows with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dust or smudges. If moisture has condensed inside, allow the cover to dry completely before reattaching.

Difficulty attaching or detaching the cover quickly.

Practice the attachment and detachment process a few times before heading out in expected wet weather. Familiarize yourself with the placement of the closures and the eyecup attachment.

Water seeps through seams or closures.

Ensure all closures and drawstrings are pulled tight. The cover is designed for rain and drizzle; it may not provide full waterproofing in submersion or extremely heavy downpours. Check for any tears or damage to the material.
