So this morning as I'm leaving for work I notice the Air Force is playing with their toys, right over my barracks. They are flying two by two and making fast banking turns and what not right in front of me. I watch the first set go by and notice another coming so I run back to my 3rd floor room and grab my camera (I know, I know I should have had it in the first place), as I exit the building another single jet makes this beautiful banking movement right in front of me, I raise the camera and...DAMN IT! The entire lens is covered with condensation from bringing out of the air conditioned building. Soon the whole camera is covered with moisture.
I always keep it in it's camera bag and even had it covered with some other cloths to hopefully lessen this problem but nothing seems to help. We can't really control how cold our room gets, pretty much you have on and off, I have a thermometer that reads about 72 degrees over where I keep the camera and that's the warm side of the room.
Is there anything that I can do to keep this from happening...other than keep the A/C off? Is this condinsation gonna hurt my camera's internal stuff? It is pretty rare that I just grab my camera from my room and shoot, it usually has time to adjust to the temp but it still builds moisture on it and with the hot season just beginning here I'm a little worried.
Thanks in advance. |
