subject: Camera Care: How to Care for Your Camera at the Beach [print this page] Since beaches are found in hot and humid areas you should never place your camera outside in direct sunlight or heat. Heat and sunlight can completely damage the internal components of your camera. Also, the humidity can make it difficult to use the viewfinder as it tends to fog up when the camera is used in these conditions. You can combat this by using a tiny gel pack that absorbs moisture while carrying around the camera in your bag. These packs absorb the moisture around your camera, and keep the viewfinder from fogging up.
