G6 milky images

[Alnath]

Anyone else seem to be getting a fair amount of images turning out "milky". I am not sure if it is me being over critial, if it was actualy in the frame when i took the shot or if it is indeed the camera.

I haven't gotten one "milky" image. Post an example so we can see what you mean.

I am in a bit of a rush so i will later, it is like a white haze but i cant work out if the haze was there or not, that doesnt really make sense does it?

Maybe it's just fringing?

Post example when you can please.

perhaps you need to wipe your lens?

That was actualy my first thought and no i dont need to wipe it :)

I took 512MB of images today and not a single image could be described as "milky". However today was very grey and overcast and the milky images are all on brilliant sunny days and even then not every time as this image shows http://alnath.fotopic.net/p7699005.html it is pretty dam clear i would say.

I will look tomorrow for a couple of examples, although i am a little in fear of making a fool of myself, like i said it might be just haze that i didnt notice to start with.

One thing that can cause the "milky" appearance is taking the camera from a dry house/room outside to a humid environment. The lens will quickly become covered with humidity and cause the images to appear unclear - sometimes for a long period. This happens a lot where I live (Florida). Just a thought.

The more i look at the images the more i am convinced it is just the condidtions with me not noticing/realising and not the camera.

High contrast lighting can often look "milky," particularly the blue sky. We would all be better served to shoot when the light is softer (overcast), or at the beginning/end of the day when it has its most warmth and direction.

I say this as someone who has used film for over 20 years and worked in a mini lab.
