[QUOTE="KenR212, post: 270762, member: 20054"] Hello, I'm new to this forum and a new D3200 owner and I have 2 questions for the experts. 1. I like to take photos outdoors, nature, birds, wildlife etc but I'm worried about fogging on the lenses and having that damage them. Is it safe to use my camera outdoors in the winter or should I wait until the weather is not quite so cold so I can avoid the fogging on the lenses when they hit warmer inside temps? 2. I have 2 lenses (AF-S 18-55mm and 55-300mm) and the smaller lens is quiet, no issues. On the telephoto lens, however, as it autofocus' on a distant object I hear what sounds like "slight crunching" noise or like "sand rubbing" noise. This happened the first time I used the lens and was inside my home, shooting out at the birds in my backyard feeders. Is this normal? Thank you, in advance, for your thoughts. Ken [/QUOTE]
