shooting in humid indoor swimming pool room

[nigelsmith]

Hi
I have some students about to shoot in a public indoor swimming pool in London.
In my experience pool rooms are very warm and humid nowadays,
and I'm worrying about the humidity.
Does anyone have any experience of this and/or advice?
Thanks in advance...

Put the camera in a sealed bag or wrap it in towels, bring it into the pool house and let it get to room temperature before switching it on - same goes for lenses - and you'll be fine.

For what it's worth--I've shot with my Red One next to an indoor pool, very humid, for a couple of hours without any problems. Letting it warm up before switching it on sounds like excellent advice.


And don't drop it in the pool.

Ditto to the above. Just make sure you air the camera off afterwards. The last thing in the world you want to have is moldy circuit-boards or lenses

However, on the other hands...

Students + Red + Pool = o(>_<)o

Cheers,
Ivan
