rach 1 Posted November 25, 2007 Share Posted November 25, 2007 I wanted this to be out of the Nikon Club thread, as it would get lost in there and I think other people would like to know this. When I want to take a camera to the ski hills, what do you guys and galls in the know do to prevent it from getting all clouded up and unusable because of the changes in temperatures? Is there a trick? Link to post Share on other sites
Kumapix 0 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 i thought it only clouded when going from a cold environment to a warm one Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 Not sure about that one. As Kuma mentionned, would have thought the other way around. Do you carry the camera inside your layers of clothes where maybe your body heat fogs it up and when you take it out from there you think it comes from the change of temp?

rach 1 Posted November 26, 2007 Author Share Posted November 26, 2007 Perhaps I am getting a bit confused. But I'm sure sometimes in the cold it gets clouded up. How do you protect the camera though in the snow? Special bag or something? Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted November 26, 2007 Share Posted November 26, 2007 i have got a little hard(ish) case for my camera. Make sure it has zippers . similar to this one maybe... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16830997082 Link to post Share on other sites
contender 0 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 As someone already have said, its when going from cold to hot it will get clouded. To prevent this, store the camera not to close to the body and make the transition from cold to hot as long as possible, i.e. let the camera stay in the bag a couple of hours after the photoshoot. When I'm skiing I'm storing my camera in a LowePro Toploader Zoom bag inside my normal backpack. Link to post Share on other sites
