Condensation on camera?

    Was just out attempting some moon / stars / night time ocean shots and when I brought the camera back in it was covered in condensation. Left it out on the table to warm back up and it seemed fine but still a little worried about water near the camera (a 450D).

    Is there a "correct" way to let the camera warm itself back up after photography in cold conditions or any tips / warnings etc.?

    The slower is the change of temperature, the better. Leaving camera in the closed bag would do the trick. Leave it first in the coldest place in the house (entry hall) and then move it to normal room. Leave it at least an hour and then it should be OK.

    And always remove battery if the condensation happens.

    It's a natural occurance, you did the right thing allowing it to return to normal at room temperature.

    If you do ge tthe camera wet and nee dto transport it in a bag or case it's a good idea to have sachets of silica gel to hand.
