Fujifilm X-T2 Condensation

The condensation trapped in the EVF glass on the inside after 20 minutes... 

Before it was half covered... After 30 minutes it was all gone...

Shot this with the X-T2 and XF 50mm in the rain wearing only a rain coat the other night...

 

Outside from 8pm until 12:30am in the rain all night... Body and Lens held up in the rain...

 

Only thing I didn't consider was condensation from placing the camera from my bag and then taking it out to shoot... It could had been the humidity outside but I think it was my bag...

 

Interior of the EVF glass was fogged up for about 30 minutes then the condensation disappeared...

 

Anyone else have experiences with the elements outside?

interesting since this should be a WR set with WR lens and WR camera... What does WR stand for if it fogs up inside?

 

I have used my X-T1 in the tropics but without a WR lens so it did fog up.

 

When  you go from an airconditioned environment to the warm and damp outside the lens fogs up (and maybe the sensor does too, not unimportantly also for implications that tiny specs of dust could become glued beyond blowing to the sensor!).

 

So, normally you wait that the fogging clears up, it takes a minute or so.

 

I have never had the viewfinder fogging though it was always the lens (and it might have been the sensor too).

 

I shouldn’t think that this is norma and probably indicates a loss of the WR somehow.

I experienced viewfinder fogging in my X-T2. I had been in very wet conditions the previous day and then very cold conditions. It cleared ok once I got the camera back inside. However I had lost the eyepiece earlier in the week and this may be a part of the sealing. You have to remember that "weather sealed" does not mean waterproof. In fact it's a pretty meaningles statement. This is the same with other makes though. I don't know of any current interchangeable lens camera that is waterproof. So the message is that you still have to be a little careful.

if the eyepiece is fogged where is the weather resistance? 

 

My X-T1 never had that

I think that you have to have a pretty extreme set of circumstances. My camera was soaked on one day and frozen the second. Such is the weather in the far north of Scotland in winter. I agree though that it's a little worrying.
