why does my underwater case fog up, there is no water on the camera??

The Marine case came with a small sack of around 1" of silica gel which sucks up all moisture from inside the camera and thus no fogging will appear.

I have this case and it recognizes no touch at all under water. Out of water is fine.

The space between the filter and the lens will fill with water. I will usually fill the space with fresh water on the dive boat by removing and replacing the filter with the camera submerged in the camera rinse bin or by removing the filter once I get in the water. Be very careful if doing this on the surface especially when wearing gloves as the filters can be easily dropped and lost.

No it´s not. And it is not good taking pictures underwater. My camera was humid inside it after introducing into the beach. It was a mess.

I took this during a kayaking trip. I didn't have that problem. The casing is air tight, so there shouldn't be any moisture to cause lens fogging.

I have had this happen a couple of times on my camera (purchased December 2011). I am not sure why it is getting stuck like that; when it happens for me, the whole camera freezes up. The only way I have found to "un-stick" the lens cover is to pop the battery out and put it back in, which seems to "re-set" things.

I havent had any problems with mine. A. Check the backup battery (you may even try cleaning the battery with a regular pink pencil eraser - learned this trick when I worked at a camera store)B. Check your power supply - perhaps it is bad. C. Contact Nautilus and see if they will replace the electronics for you. I hope this has been of some help

I been asking the same question. I have not heard back as of yet. I am sure the case cold be purchased outside or replaced. So far we use the case only when we are going to use the camera.

The camera works great at temps above 0 it does fog up. I sprayed it with glass defogger spray it worked at -13f after I sprayed it.

your gopro is not waterproof without the case. You will need to get a bigger back piece replacement for the case.

My pictures only come out hazy when I'm unsteady. I don't think the case has ever caused a problem with pictures or videos and I use it for them frequently.

The lens gets fogy when i leave it out with direct sunlight over it, if i just put it in the shadow the fog goes away after a minute or two. No leaking problems so far, and i must say i have been really testing this camera's thoughness, its been through some falls and jumps.

The camera itself is not waterproof, but its case is. So as long as you have it in its case, then yes it is totally waterproof. Has it gotten wet without its case? Ya I've accidentally splashed it a time or two, if that happens I immediately turn it off and check to make sure I didn't get the internal parts wet. So try not to get water on it when its outside its case. I've taken it free diving in its case to depths deeper than 60 feet and, it can go down about 200 feet.

I love the camera but I have had three and they all have leaked after about a year. With the case I think I can get more time out of the underwater camera. Yes, it will work underwater without the case.. I snorkel once a month. If you snorkel once a year on a vacation it should be fine. It takes beautiful pictures and movies with the case. I am happy with the case. I hope this helps.

if you set the under water mode it should work better then when i used it.. i forgot to set it for underwater mode! lol but i was 15 foot under water and it didnt mess up or anything. i just wasnt able to take to many pictures because i didnt have the mode set! plus i was trying to take pictures and a video prob would have worked better ( i was filming fish!)

I had to send the camera back; because, the camera got moisture inside and stopped working. The lens also had issues fogging up in humid conditions. My camera never went below a few feet. So I do not know if this is a build quality issue or a design problem with the camera. When working it took great pictures and we had fun using the camera for some surfing photos. The video record feature is also very nice and easy to use. It is a good action camera that can get wet. As to waterproof, I am not so sure. Hope this helps, Phil

Get water and rinse and check to see if any of the coating came off, this could cuase a problem with fogging, you should not use anything abraisive to clean the goggles.
