warm waterside setting, for example.

hMoving from cold surroundings, such as a ski slope, to warm

surroundings.

hTurn off the camera and leave it with the battery door open it in a

location with a stable ambient temperature for about 2 hours. The

cloudiness will dissipate naturally when the camera adjusts to the

ambient temperature.
