Don't Accidentally Breathe on a Camera in Cold Weather

SUMMARY: Water vapor in your breath could condense on your digital camera lens.

When the weather gets much colder, especially as it gets below freezing, take care to not breathe on your digital camera. Tiny water droplets in your breath could form condensation on your digital camera lens. If this happens, immediately wipe the moisture off with a lint-free cloth, lest it completely freeze and possibly cause damage.
