i have a fuji s9000 camera. and live in florida.

i always have the camera inside @ 75* or so.. and when i go outside.. (did this once and now im scared) the lens as well as back display gather condensation.. (just on outside) i took it out for about 5 seconds and noticed the front lens all fogged up . and back was too and immediately put it back in case and brought inside.. for fear of it ruining camera..

whats the proper way to bring my camera outside so this doesnt happen.. or is this not as bad for the camera as i thought. i just think that if this is happening outside that it is prolly the same inside as well.. given the camera is not probable sealed inside(or maybe is)

the same happens w/ my watches but then their resistant to 300M so i feel their safe

if anyone can gimme some advice to this it would be much appreciated.

good question.... ive never ran into a prob like this b4... but i would like to know.

 

just sucks.. i cant take pics until like september or nightime..

i think the camera is most likely sealed cause it cant have dust inside.. so..idk waiting for responses

 

Don't worry about it. It's just the air conditioning cooling your lens, when you take it out into the humitiy it condences on the lens.

Use a microfiber lens cloth or equivalent to clean it off, or it will evaporate once the temperature equalizes.

To completely avoid it:

A. Turn off your A/C.
B. Put the camera in a plastic back (sealed tight) before removing it from the house, once the camera warms up, remove it from the plastic.

However, some condensation on the outside won't hurt it. Unless you get enough water INSIDE the body of the camera to create a short, you will be fine.

 

awesome. i figured.. the bag is waterproof and insulated. so maybe set in sun for a little to bring temp up then take out.

just didnt wanna ruin cam.

 

I took a camera to Niagara falls about 5 years ago. I took it with me on the Maid of the Mist boat tour. It is still going strong.

Don't worry about it.

 

alright.. awesome.. im just super into macro shots and know anything wrong w/ cam will come up 10x worse in macro.



thats 20% of the original..

 

wow...that's a nice camera. what kinda camera is it?

nice watch too.

i see that your car and your watch got same color scheme going on
