Camera Lens Problems

I'll have to agree with the other "wipe the lens" folks - I used one model older of that same camera in Hawaii a couple of years ago and the best bet was to wipe the lens if it was wet and I was taking "above water" photos. Also I'll put in with the "lick it first"  people - it dissolves the salt build-up and seems to help it wipe clean. Just keep a small cotton cloth at hand someplace half dry and you'll be OK.

I'm currently using two Fuji XP50s (Costco deal) and I have to say the image quality (even if I play with the settings) is not as good as the Olympus was, unfortunately. Saving up for a GoPro and/or UW case for my "real" camera (Olympus OM-D EM-5). 

I keep a small squeeze bottle - an empty Visene eye-drop bottle - with clean water in it (a gallon of distilled water lasts a long, long time for this) and microfiber lens cleaning cloths with the camera.  A drop or two of water on the cloth is enough to clean salt from the lens, and if the rest of the cloth stays dry, it's plenty absorbant enough to mop up any spray that gets on the lens.  I carry one for the wet work and another for drying.  They weigh practically nothng.

Microfiber cleaning cloths are all over the place, in just about every shop on every corner.  You can find a pack of a dozen 3M microfiber lens and electronics cleaning cloths in individiual sealed packs for $5.

Just a thought.
