Be Careful Coming in From the Cold

SUMMARY: Condensation may form on your digital camera's lens.

Be careful taking your digital camera directly from extremely cold to warm temperatures. Doing so may cause condensation to form on your lens, even if a lens cap protects it. Your viewfinder or other parts of your digital camera may be affected as well. If condensation forms, it should be quickly wiped off with a lint-free cloth or other digital camera-approved cleaning device to avoid damage.
