Oh.. I'd think you'd need to put it in the Microwave after it's been in the refer for a while?

Hmmm it wouldn't heat up much IMO, because microwaves mostly excite water molecules and I hope you don't have too much of them in your cam :wink:

But on the other hand this would work : put your cam in the the refrigerator for some hours, take it out, a lot of water will condensate in and out of the cam, then put it in the microwave. Now it will heat up :twisted:

The little sticker inside says don't do it... Anyway... the walls of the microwave oven are metallic to reflect the microwaves again to the target. And they aren't warm when I've finished heating the meal, only a bit, but I guess that's from the heat emitted from the meal...

Hi IndyJeff,

IndyJeff wrote:
Ok so I know it is not a technical question but just thought maybe we could get an answer to that age old question of why the white lens bodies.

The reason that the Larger L's are white and the smaller ones are black is because the larger ones usually contain at least one fluorite lens. Fluorite lenses do not maintain their optical performance over a wide temperature range and therfore need to avoid getting to hot. Therfore the lens cases were made white so as to reflect more light. The smaller L lenses use Aspherical and UD glass which maintains its performance over a wider temperature range and therfore can be black. Nikon don't use fluorite in their lenses so their lenses dont need to be grey/white. After a while white lenses were seen as the "expensive" ones and other manufacturers started to make them white for the look of it.

Hope that helps

Hehe... the little sticker is there for a reason! :wink:

Thin metallic objects or metallic layers (such as those you might find, say, on the circuit board of a digital camera) can burn and melt due to the strong electrical currents generated within them by microwaves.

Hello ya'll...I'm at work right now so I don 't have much time, but I wanted to say "hey" to everyone. I work at Canon in digital cameras, so if you have problems jot them down and in my spare time I'll try to answer them...otherwise I am one of the techs available at our toll free number.

I've got your number then. Seriously though, WELCOME to the forum. It'll be GREAT to have someone around with inside info. :D
