turning on cam with lens-cap already off?

[non]

is it bad for the CCDs? I've heard that it's not good to have that light hitting them but i was curious if this is really only bad if in a very bright area.

Thanks,

I've never heard that. I wouldn't think it would do any harm. If it was bad, you'd think they'd put a warning in the manual.

I don't even know where my lens cap is anymore. Wouldn't worry about it.
