Z1 Camera Condensation inside lens

Hi, I have just returned from a week in Portugal, of which on the 22nd May I decided to use my phone for the first time under water in the pool. I was physically in the pool for a couple of minutes, as whilst in the shallow end I was unable to take a photo using the onscreen takephoto button, I assume due to the water, and simply forgot to press the button to the top. I got out of the pool to try and find the waterdrop app (cant find it), but for approximately 5 minutes the camera app kept opening. However when I was ready to take a photo (not underwater) I noticed the picture was all misty. On inspecting The rear camera is all misted up in a circular form. I have take photo to show the difference if you need to see these. I have now returned to England and the mist still appears. All other functions work, but extremely disappointing as was unable to take any photos underwater. The main reason of my purchase of this phone and the Z1 Tablet. I didn't even dare take the tablet into the pool. I can say this ruined part of my holiday.
What do I do?

I know what you mean, I purposely went abroad to use my new gadgets, z1 phone and z1 tablet, not taking a camera as also have the qx10 however mainly used my phone as the camera is amazing,.well was and didn't have wifi connection to use my qx10. I have some excellent photos for the first few days, but after the pool incident I was unable to use my phone as a camera, the lens all misty, surely they woul. Of thought of this. Annoyed and starting to loose trust in Sony, I have invested over £2K over the last year on Sony. I have submitted a repair request but the question is will it happen again, as going back abroad soon, do I have to invest in a separate camera, can . Trust takin. My tablet into the pool. Can't really take my phone in our local swimming pool.

Unknown camera and unknown lens

Hello,
For some reason today, Aperture is not recognizing my camera or lens when I import images from my memory card. There is no photo or exif metadata being reported by Aperture for the photo's imported today. Photo's that were imported last Monday have the correct photo and exif metadata.
Photo's were taken with a Nikon D7000 and 35mm f1.8 DX lens. I used ViewNX2 to grab the metadata from one of the photo's on the memory card and the camera make and lens information are correct. When I open the file in Preview.app I can see the following metadata in the "Exif" tab:

I noticed the Lens ID in the Aperture metadata shows -2,147,483,648. That seems odd to me. However, the Lens Model, and Lens Info appear correct. I checked the Lens ID number with Preview for one of the photo's in Aperture where the metadata appears correctly and it is the same -2,147,483,648 number. So, I surmise my camera likely does not use this field. From the "TIFF" tab I have the following metadata:

The Make (Nikon Corporation) and Model (Nikon D7000) appear correctly. There is a "Nikon" tab as well which reports:

Focus Mode: AF-S
ISO Setting: 0, 400
Lens Type: 6

Shooting Mode: 1
Shutter Count: 8,823

None of this metadata makes it into Aperture for any of the photo's imported today even though the metadata is being viewed with Preview directly from the corresponding JPG files imported into the Aperture library.
Other information that may or may not be relevant:
I reinstalled Aperture a little over a week ago because the names of the adjustment bricks suddenly changed to names that all started with "DG..."
Adobe Flash suddenly stopped working when viewing an online video today and I could not view a flash video from any website after that. I uninstalled and reinstalled Flash.
OS X 10.8.2 supplemental update was installed today after I noticed this problem (from 10.8.2).
Any idea's?
Steve

Update.
I trashed the preferences and moved the ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture folder. No change.
I created a new library, imported a photo and then could not see the project. Quit and Aperture will not open the library but I can open it with iPhoto. Sure enough, the imported photo does not have the photo or exif metadata. However, if I create a duplicate of the exact same photo from the master directory in the library and import it again using iPhoto, the metadata appears.
So, definitely an Aperture issue. Will try another reinstall.

My auto focus does not work with Canon 60D. Is it because of the camera or the lens?

I had the same problem. I make my AF work going to Menu / AF mode and selected Live mode. On Quick mode the AF did not work. I change the settings without realise it. Now my AF is working fine.

Resting your camera on your lens... Can it damage the lens or the body?

I see a lot of pictures of cameras resting face down on their lens and I have always wondered if this could damage the lens? Besides the obvious of the lens and camera falling over, can this wreck the lens mechanical parts or even damage the mount to the body? I know that the 5D and 1DX are pro cameras and built solid and tough, but what about the 650D?
When I'm not using my camera I always take the lenses off and store everything separate... Am I being over cautious?
Thanks!

Neither way will damage the camera or the lens. Dropping the camera can, unless it is a 1D series.
Most professionals I know, I mean full time bread-and-butter guys see their equipment as simply tools.
The photo is paramount and the camera is just a means.
That is why the 1D series are built so "tank" like. They have to be to survive the constant use and abuse.
They used to say you could beat someone to death with a 1D and than take the crime scene photos with it!
Probably the worst thing you can do to the plastice body camera (Rebel) is hold just the camera body and leave a heavy lens unsupported. Always support a heavy lens, this can damage the mount if ignored.

On a sx40. When I turn on camera I get Lens Error Will shut down automatically. Restart camera

I need help. I bought a sx40 camera on ebay. After only a month of occassional use I now get a lens error message.
It states Lens Error, shutting down automatically Restart Camera. I have not dropped the camera or abused it in any way. But there is a really loud screeching sound as the lens tries to come out but can't. Anyone have any answers.

yes first see if you can get the extended warranty thru Square Trade if its not to late or what the return agreement with the seller was...do that first. If you used PayPal they also offer automatic purchase protection too. Lens problems are not cheap to repair. Second use some compressed air and see if you can gently blow out and thing that may have gotten inside the lens assembly. Blow the air from inside the battery compartment and any other open space...the key it to blow anything out. Also blow the air around the lens assembly. That sound you hear is not a good sign.

PowerShot SD1300IS has dark blurry spot on inside lens, shows up on picture. What to do?

When I zoom in the dark blurry spot expands. Is there anyway to get rid of it? i looked on Youtube but taking the camera apart looks pretty complicated. What is the source of the spot as it seems to be a closed system? Please advise.

Hello Magoose,
From what you describe of this issue it sounds as though there is either something either on the lens or embedded inside the lens. If cleaning the lens with a cleaning kit does not resolve the issue then you may need to consider sending this to Canon for evaluation. We do not recommend that you attempt the repair yourself.
To arrange for service, or to contact Canon directly, please visit the service and support section on our web site at your earliest convenience. You can arrive directly there through this Link.

How to Save Camera Calibration and Lens Correction in Camera raw 6.1

I downloaded and installed the Camera Raw 6.1 release candidate. I open an image and set the camera calibration and the lens correction to auto for Nikon. I save these settings as new Camera raw defaults, but when I open other images, the changes were not made. How can I save these items as defaults?
Swila

Swila, were your "other images" previously edited in Camera Raw? I.e., do they already have saved image settings? The defaults that you save via the flyout menu will only apply to new images, or if you reset an existing image to the defaults. (e.g., choose "Camera Raw Defaults" from the flyout menu).

New iMac condensation inside screen glass

I hooked up my new 24" aluminum iMac and after about an hour of using it, a 1" x 3" strip of condensation gradually appeared in the lower right portion of the screen behind the glass. Anyone else see this?

Since the iMac goes Glass > Space > LCD it wouldn't be totally surprising that condensation would show up there if there is a lot of humidity and the temp variations between the outside of the glass and the inside of the glass.
The space between the glass and lcd is not air tight. The glass is just a "cover" and not affixed to the actual LCD. It's held on by some magnets but there's still air going to and from between the lcd and the section that connects to the glass. It's like when you get condensation/ie., fogged windows in a car. The temp difference the air outside the glass and the air inside the glass as well as both surface sides it's a matter of physics that a fog will appear if the conditions are optimal.
I would at least call Apple or goto an Apple store so that there is a record of it happening in case any damage is caused by it. However do not be surprised if the fog goes away by the time you get there.

Camera Raw Preferences & Lens Corrections

I downloaded CS5 this a.m. and cannot access the Camera Raw Preferences when in Bridge. When I click on Preferences it does nothing.
Also when in Camera Raw and click on the Lens Correction, I don't see the new lens feature that shows up in the various tutorials about this new lens correction feature. The Lens Correction panel looks like the one in CS4, not what is shown for CS5.
Any Suggestions? I'm on a Mac Pro, running CS5 in 64 bit.
Sue

Thank you Rick! Now I can quit pulling my hair out wondering why I don't see it. It shows up in all the tutorials so you'd think it would be there. I'm sure they'll hear about this and get the update out soon, but like you said "How soon is soon?"
Thanks again, Sue
Now if I can only figure out why Camera Raw Preferences won't open. Maybe that will be fixed with 6.1.

Lens or Camera first? Lens suggestions?

I am looking to jump into the DSLR market. I am upgrading from a SX10 IS point and shoot which I use fairly exclusively in manual settings. I am looking to get into many different types of photography including: landscape, time lapse, star trail, action sports (both indoor and outdoor), and a general goto camera.
I do not work as a professional by any means, nor do I get out every weekend to shoot pictures. However, in the coming years, I will be doing a lot of traveling (camping, touring other cities, backpacking, etc) so it will get used a lot more heavily. I am looking to try and keep the whole purchase under 2k.
I have read many posts across the internet on the subject saying one side or the other. I also have read rumors of new cameras coming out in early 2013. I have family members that already have canon lenses that I could borrow, I just dont know which ones they exactly have. Eventually I would be looking to make my own collection though.
Cameras that I have been considering are the 7d,60d, or the t4i.
I like the shooting speed of the 7d and can afford the cost, but will have to settle with the kit lens that comes with it for a while.
I like the 60D because I have heard a lot of good reviews on the image quality and the pictures I have seen of sky photography. (I know this has a lot to do with the lens as well).
Then the t4i because of it realatively inexpensiveness and I could buy an extra lens or 2.
I would like to keep my sx10 but can trade it in for the loyalty program maybe?

There will always be rumors of new camera coming out, so I think you just have to bite the bullet and buy when its a good time for you.

I think you have a pretty good evaluation of your options, and the benefits and tradeoffs of each model in terms of capability and opportunity cost. Good catch also on knowing your family members and any lenses they have are an excellent resource to keep in mind.
My first question is to find out what they have. If they have a wide assortment, I'd recommend that you can opt for a 'better' camera/body sooner. Otherwise, I think its a great idea to start with a T4i. In the whole scheme of things, its a very inexpensive body, and the money you save to put towards building up your own collection of great lenses will be worth it.
As a professional now, I started out with a T2i back when it was the newest T#i. I used this as an opportunity to get used to the Canon user interface for the manual settings that I understood already (coming from a video background). It sounds like you will have a similar situation. Then, I worked on developing my creative eye, and using and understanding the capabilities of different 'cheaper' lenses (the kit 18-55mm and a 55-250mm telephoto, then soon after the 'nifty-fifty' -- you'll understand these references after your first few months with a DSLR).
As I started hitting roadblocks due to lens capabilties/specs, I figured out what I couldn't do that I wanted, what lens could help me with that, and began investing in "good glass". I borrowed a better camera/body a few times in the past two years, but it literally was not until last month when I finally upgraded from my T2i.
Any decent body/camera will do when it comes help you with the to the most important part of photography: seeing good shots. Better lenses give you more ways/options of "seeing". Arguably, a camera could too, but I think more accurately, it should be said that it just helps more consistantly capture what you see and are inspired by.
To use an analogy: its like learning how to drive. You want something reliable and capable to start -- you learn the basic features of the equipment and also the rules of the road. Then, you can get a "nicer" car and appreciate what makes it nice. (Lenses don't fit very well into this analogy... )

Camera Profiles and Lens Profiles are missing in ACR 8.2.

Yesterday I tried to install a new update for CS CC, but it failed. Then I uninstalled the app completely, and installed it again.
When I opened ACR 8.2 I found out that there were no Camera profiles and LensProfiles (as it used to be before). Instead of usual Camera Profile was Matrix. There were no Lens Profiles in Photoshop Lens Corrections either.
The folder C/.../App Data/Roaming/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfilesDefault was also empty.
I reinstalled the application a couple times with the same result.
How can I fix the problem?
Regards, Yulia

Well, C:\ProgramData\Adobe\CameraRaw\CameraProfiles\Adobe Standard is also completely empty.

Scale difference between Camera Raw and Lens Correction Filter in CS6

I have the latest Camera Raw plugin (8.6.0.254). When I open an NEF file from a D800, the resulting image is 4912x7360 pixels, whether I apply distortion correction or not.
If I load the NEF file, do not apply distortion correction in Camera Raw, but then apply it via the Lens Correction Filter, the image must be rescaled to approximately 4840x7252 (some 98.53%) so that it matches the results of the Camera Raw plugin (minus the missing pixels around all four sides, of course).
Anyone else notice this (particularly in newer versions of Photoshop)? Is there a way to prevent this cropping? The amount of distortion on the lens (35mm) is minimal and, regardless of that, I would have expected Camera Raw and the Lens Correction filter to output identical images after distortion correction, since the lens profile is the same.

To see if that can be replicated, we'd need to now the exact version of CS6 you're running (e.g. on Mac you should be on Photoshop CS6 13.0.6) and the exact version of your OS.

Camera model and lens model

Just a bit confused about this in the metadata. Every time I reopen Ap 3. the camera and lens info on the metadata has gone. I then need to select all the photos I want the data for and in metadata click " update from master ". When I close that project and reopen the information has gone again and I need to repeat the procedure. Am I being stupid here by missing something obvious ??

Stola,
I am willing to share my lens profiles with others and I have sent this profile directly to Adobe and it is in the database, accessible from Photoshop CS5.
I will have to send you the lens profile as an attachment since a Lightroom user cannot access the lens profile database, according to what I have seen on this forum. You can send me a private message with your email address and I will send the file to that address, it is an 83 kilobyte file and is for RAW images, the NEFs, shot with the D700. I took 120 different images, not 27, to develop this profile, so it is a good one that I invested a lot of time in developing.
In order to send a private message to me with your email address to mail the lens profile file to, you would click on my name beside the post of the topic, and then when the menu comes up, on the right, choose "Actions", "Send private message", and then compose the note to send me your email address within the private message, unless you want to post your email address on the forum, which robots can obtain and then spam you with advertisements, etc..

Mirrorless Camera Selection - Kit Lens only?

Bestbuy should carry these cameras with the option of buying the body only, w/ prime lens or kit lens. I really do not see the reason for buying a pocket size camera and only using a huge kit lens .
Most people will never buy another lens so the kit lens will be a popular choice. Still some of us already have the kit lens or replace their pocket camera with a mirrorless+prime lens.

Hi msocor,
I completely hear where you are coming from on this, and if I was ever to purchase a compact system camera I would be purchasing it as a more portable option to my DSLR. I have forwarded your idea onto the appropriate team here at our corporate headquarters.
Thanks for posting,
