Blurry lens: how to avoid the problem when shooting with your DSLR

DSLR cameras need some care in their storage and use. Their lenses, for the most part, are even more expensive than the camera body, so they need special attention. When transported to environments with high temperature variations, the lens may be blurred, creating blurred images, as if there was a fog in the front.

And it is no use wiping a cloth on the outside, since condensation occurs on the inside. Check out some tips on how to store camera lenses and prevent them from getting blurred with temperature changes.

2 - Zippered plastic bag

One way to accustom the camera to temperature without exposing it directly is the zip-lock plastic zippered bag. The bag needs to be tightly closed, so as not to get air. Leave it exposed for a few minutes so that the camera's temperature matches the ambient temperature. Once this is done, just take the camera out of the bag that will not be fogged up.

3 - Exposed pouch

To adjust the camera to the outside temperature, a few minutes before leaving for shooting, place the camera in the closed bag and leave it at room temperature, this will gradually cause the lens to become too cold and use.

4 - Open the window

If it is not possible to leave the camera exposed outside to equalize the temperature, in the enclosed environment, try to leave the camera as close to an open window as possible. The process tends to take longer, but also promises to have an effect.

5 - Car Care

When entering the car, it is common to soon turn on the air conditioner on a very hot day or the heater if it is cold. But this change in temperature can also help blur the camera lens. If this is the case, try to leave the equipment stored in the suitcase, where the air conditioner of the car can not reach with such power.
