Foggy effect in Nikon D3200 and Nikkor 18-55 Lense

rakkee

When i am using for outdoor shoot after few shots both viewfinder and photo gets foggy effect. It intensifies photo after photo which reaches unusable state. When keep idle for half an hour it rectifies the foggy effect. I would like to know whether this is a product malfunctioning or since im new to DSLR and lack of proper knowledge. Kindly advise. Thanks in advance.

@rakkee: It sounds like Air con. Do you have aircon in your house?

That is definitely not normal behavior. It sounds like you live in a very humid environment, and moisture got inside the camera/lens.

Take the lens of the camera and look through it. If you see any fogginess in the lens, you can try and clean both the front- and the backend of the lens with a lenspen (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1051483-REG/lenspen_nlp1_c_nlp1c_lens_pen.html), if the fog is inside the lens, you need to send it in.

If the lens is clear, it's in the camera... Blow some air into the camera using a rocketblower (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/259157-REG/Giottos_AA1900_Rocket_Air_Blower.html), and if that doesn't get rid of it, you can try one last thing; put it in a bag with a bunch of dry rice for a couple days and see if it improves. Otherwise you need to take the camera into a photo shop. Not Best Buy or Comp USA, but a real photo shop. They will most likely clean it for free or for a small fee.

Are you keeping the camera in cool air-conditioned room, then going out side, into warm humid environment?
