Ola Josemi,

I, along with many hikers in my community, have subjected my G1X3 to pretty brutal conditions but I've never even heard of anything like this. The WR on this cam is really strong so I'm struggling to understand how this could happen.

Since the 1/20 sec exposure plus whatever other glass you used resulted in a very poor picture, let me ask you a few "detective" questions:

- how old is this cam and did you buy it new?

- you do not use a front filter, right?

- am I correct in guessing that the foreign object sneaked in just behind the front lens element?

- has your G1X3 ever experienced a fall, even a minor one?
