Ok, this may seem a silly question, and I suppose it is a matter of choice. I can put my camera in the case I bought for it with the lens facing down, out (to the right so the lens is against the outside wall of the case, in (to the left toward the other case compartment that holds a lens) or up toward the opening. What is safest? (detail if you need it this is a Canon EOS R50 in a Lowepro "Nova" case)

Another question - When I am to store my camera for a while should I remove the lens and afix covers to the body and the lens or may I just leave it on? Probably 2 weeks to a month between normal uses.

Face the lens down so you can grab the camera by the grip when you want to use it.

And yeah, it's ok to leave a lens on.

Good point. Not too worried about an accidental drop? I am not too clumsy but stuff happens.

If you're worried about an accidental drop, get a better bag.
