For some, this may be a trick. For others, a warning.<\/p>\n<p>*** BEFORE you enter a warm house, car, or building, put a plastic bag on the camera while it is in the cold. That keeps condensation off the camera, lens, and electronics. Remove the bag after 30-60 mins when the camera is room temp. Then store the camera open to the air. Do NOT store in a closed, lens pouch, or bag. The fungus will grow inside and then you are in big trouble!<\/p>\n<p>Clear plastic bags include a dry cleaning bag and a rubber band.<br \/>\nKeep 1-2 bags in the camera or rubber band on a tripod. Don&#8217;t leave home without one!<br \/>\nIf you screw up and have no bag, take off your coat outside, wrap the camera, then go indoors.<br \/>\nIf you really screw up and bring the camera in a warm house or car, immediately go back out or into an unheated garage, let it get cold again, maybe 10 mins, and then bag it and go back in.<\/p>\n<p>If my camera gets rained or snowed on, I carry a towel in the car to wrap the camera in the towel and then bag the towel. If I&#8217;m shooting outdoors, I go to the car to get the towel before coming in or leave the camera outside on a porch, go in, get a towel, and then come out. When it warms up inside, maybe 1\/2 hr because the towel is on, then I dry it as best possible without taking the lens off and leave it on a table to dry overnight. Then store it in an open camera bag or open lens pouches until next time.<\/p>\n<p>John Naman<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cold weather causes problems for photographers.
