Condensation INSIDE lens...

[Jarek Zabczynski]

Yeah so I was shooting a concert tonight in a bar and all of a sudden my image began to bloom and fog up. Yeah it looked kinda cool at the time but the fact that it wasn't intentional made me somewhat nervous. I thought maybe my filter got gunked up or something. There was no smoke or fog in the air. I did everything I could at the time to try to fix it. When I got outside and took a good look, there was a large circle of condensation on the INSIDE of the lens assembly. It wasn't very cold or humid. I don't get it. It went away after a little while but should I be concerned? This is my second HVX, I just got it. My other one has NEVER done this. Is it defective? What should I do?

Thanks!

Very little to do, but wrap your camera in a plastic bag before entering a warm location and wait the camera to warm up; the condentation will occur on the outside surface of the bag. It worked in antartic and even entering a turkish hammam!
