Camera Fogging

[dmichael]

just returned from diving in Thailand with my A75 . Lucky had no problems with fogging....but maybe that was because I used the power off feature . that is my camera was not "on" for the whole dive....yes it was a nuisance having to wait sometimes for the camera to come on to get a photo but then again I did not photograph anything that was moving that fast . Another diver with a canon left his on the whole time and did suffer from some fogging........maybe its the camera getting hot inside the casing that is causing the fogging....i did also put some anti-fog into the casing as well though so probably a combination of both saved me .

I recently had the same problem with my S&S D3000. Changed the dessicant pack as recommeded by others and no more fogging.

S&S makes a flat tube dessicant that fits in the 1/8 inch space between the camera bottom and the housing. They come in a pack of 4 and might be an option for your camera set up.

As a newbie, I hope you will tolerate my ignorance! What or where is "S&S"? Where do you suggest purchasing a 'flat tube dessicant' or even O-rings for my WP-DC800 housing?
Thanks for your assistance!

you did right using the power down function as the heat generated by the LCD display
is responsible for the fogging!
