Re: Brand New TG6 Screen Foggy After 15 Min. Use (dry)

I understand about hot and humid, but the day mentioned it was sunny and dry and the camera was not in the water at all. We were on the beach, not swimming, because it was too windy and a little chilly. The screen almost immediately was 75% fogged over.

While the TG6 is in the process of being replaced I am using the TG4, and yes, yesterday in the water the back screen was foggy and mottled, and the lens was partially fogged. I still managed to get some good shots, however. In this shot you can see, top right, where it's a bit foggy.

I stored the camera overnight in a bag of rice, with doors open, will try again today.

I understand these cameras need special care - I just want to know what that means.

Thanks!
