hi all

duno issit appropriate to post this qn here..im new to slr

the scenario is like tat...yest i was in a aircon room for the whole day and so is my camera..it was quite cold...
so today ard lunch time i left the room and went to hawker center..so was intending to take some pic of the food then when i shoot i realise my lens on the front is abit foggy..

tried to clean it off ..but after a while it come again..so jus put off the shooting..
issit norm? and hwo do i prevent this? or if it happ how can i clean it off or solve it so that immeditely i can take pic?

i came home and immediately place in the dry cabinet and aft like 6 hrs i take out n c n it seems ok.

if go abroad like cold weather area...will this occur again ..like that abit hard to take pic.

any1 can help?

thanx

wah ur aircon must be damn cold and the weather outside is damn humid, it's s'pore mah. the condensation only on the lens (outside) right? just keep a lens cloth handy n keep whipping until the lens warm-up then no more condensation... in cold countries, the temperature will be constantly cold outdoors so no condensation, but if u fo indoors where the heater is on, then prob will

bro, the phottix battery grip can fit nicely with your D90? I'm thinking of going for this combo since the original one is very expensive and out of stock most of the time. how do you find it compare to the original one?

i'm using this, very happy with it, no issue so far

Of course can fit lah, us in Spore usually won't be the ist in the world to use any such pdts. If you mean the battery life, I see no diff. leh.

I usually have no qualms using 3rd party products for lesser tech/'easy to copy' stuff like tripod, battery, grip, sling?lol..

actually hor, condensation will occur on any cold surface in a warmer environment what... just that e lens being thicker/bigger take longer to warm up to the ambient temperature. i guess it's not a good idea to keep ur camera + lens in the air con room all the time and then expose it to the warmer environment each time u need it.. that's why we have dry cabinets to keep the equipment in a constant temp and humidity.

anyways the experts here should have a better answer

Where we are is cool and dry on the inside and hot and humid on the outside. Abroad, it's cool and dry on the outside and warm and drier on the inside.. Any problems there? ;p

ok..seems like this equation will not result in any prob..

thanx

Make sure it's the right equation though.. ;p

Usually the case when it's cold outside, humidity is not a problem because even when relative humidity can be high, absolute humidity is low because temperature is low. And when you go indoors, the heater dries the air more, so it gets very dry indoors.

I think humidity and dew point has nothing to do with relativity.. Do correct me if I'm wrong. ;p
