Defoggery

I'm new to this game and the waters getting cold! Any suggestions for preventing the housing lense from fogging up?

Re: Defoggery

I put a tiny pack of Silica Gel in the housing.
I also got some stuff in a little bottle from Sony with a Cancorder housing (back in the 8mm days) and that is antifog.
Maybe contact your local Sony dealer and ask them if they have any of that stuff?
as a quick fix rub a little washing up liquid on to the inside of the housing and polish off.

Re: Defoggery

Mine fogs up if I take too many shots in a given period of time.

Only option is to turn it off for 10-15minutes.

BUT. Putting the camera into its housing late at night, when the humidity and temp is low, does help prevent fogging.

Re: Defoggery

The silica gel trick sounds good. Water temp has dropped radically due to wind and we had a couple extremely warm, humid days. I'm reluctant to use the defogger solution because it says it may screw with the image.

Re: Defoggery

had the same problem

silica gel helps (but only if it is a brand new sachet)

load the camera somewhere cool

turn it off in between shots so it doesn't get too hot

that lot combined works for me...
