Drops-off know-how wanted

Hi.

I have bought housing for Canon Powershot 620A and have no problems with it while underwater. But since I use it also for taking pictures above water level as well, there are drops of water left on the lens after coming out of the water and annoying the pictures taken.

Does exist some liquid which could protect the lens from those drops? Or there is some other improvement treatment?



Did you experience that kind of problem? How did you treat it?

Thank you for any advice.

Petr

Im not really into the underwater photagraphy, yet. But it might be worth your while to check at a few auto shops I know u get a spray for car windsheils that helps with water clearing off the windsheild. Dont really know if it will work or affect the housing in some way, but it might be worth a try.

Re: Drops-off know-how wanted

I have the same problem and haven't found a solution yet!

There was a discussion about this on the scubaboard here. There doesn't seem to be a definitive answer, some sugguest using this rain-x procuct, I think its something like Deep thinker mentionned but I'm affraid of putting any product on the housing. Mask antifog was also suggested.

The most reasonable suggestion would probably be to give it a shot of air from an octopus. Since that isn't possible while freediving maybe blowing real hard on the lens would work? I'll give it a shot this weekend.
