Defoggery

[Fondueset]

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

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.

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.

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.

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...
