Today I took a short hike alongside a local riverbed. The temps were in the upper 90’s, and I’m not quite sure on the humidity level, but pretty high. Skeeters were hungry and critters were plentiful for tons of pictures, so when I thought I had enough shots I returned home to review my results only to find half my shots for some reason have these vertical lines as shown in the picture below. The only thing I can conclude is that somehow some moisture got to the sensor. The only reason I believe this is that I noticed a fair amount of condensation on the inside of my LCD screen on the camera back.
I only made one lens change while in the woods. Thinking it was the lens I again tried another one while at home and got the same results. I powered down camera, whipped the contacts off and tried it again with the same results. The lines did not start with the lens change in the woods, and I have no recollection of any external factors which would lead to something. The body was not dropped or bumped in anyway, nor exposed to any more sunlight that what would be on a normal every day hike, or sprayed with water. I used a towel to whip occasional sweat from the back of the LCD between shots.
At no time other than perhaps while I was taking the shots did it get wet from sweat, and that was whipped off ASAP. I’m wondering if this is possibly causing the condensation inside the LCD. If I was to bet though this would be from coming from my air condition at home, then going to the woods. However there was a good deal of time between my first few shots taken at 1313hrs and the shot that had the lines at 1343hrs. My camera was already out of the bag a good bit even before I took the first shot.
At the moment I’ve got the battery compartment and CF slot open as with the lens off with the camera sitting on top of my computer hoping to perhaps remove any sort of moisture from the body. I was hoping some of you could give me some insight as to what these lines could possibly be from. The first is a normal shot with no lines, and the latter two are with. Or at least they are on the original. If you cant see the lines, please take a peek at my smug mug folder where I have them posted. They start up with the three photos of water shots. http://medicdiver.smugmug.com/gallery/3192168/1/175832205
And the one with lines if they can be seen on here.
From looking at the posting window I can't tell if they will show, they may only show on the original.
Thanks,
Kenny
