Hi.

Yesterday, I noticed for the first time when turning on the air conditioning a fine, white smoke that was flowing through the vents into the interior of the car. It looked like fog. After about 10 seconds, it disappeared again. The air conditioning was working perfectly. The outside temperature was 23°C and it was raining heavily. After a few minutes, I tried again. I turned off the air conditioning, waited 5 minutes, and then turned it on again: it 'fogged' up for a few seconds.
Is that normal? I certainly hadn't noticed it before.

It's just condensation from the humidity. Don't worry about it!

You're welcome, hatman.

I had suspected it, but I started to wonder about it because I had never noticed it before.
