It could be due to you taking it from an Air conditioned environment to a hot and humid outside or visa versa as many here will attest to. Many will zip lock their camera, lenses etc.etc. before going out or coming in and then allow it to acclimate prior to opening and using the gear.
To add to Jackdoor's comment, In a closed Tupperware, place the camera with a few packets of Silica Gel if you have some, for moisture absorption that most throw out, (Silica gel can adsorb 15% of its weight in water vapor in 2 hours). White rice works also. Use obvious precautions. I keeps a slew of the Silica packets in all my camera bags and never have had a moisture problem. It's why the manufactures ship cameras with them.

Maybe that's what happened, we had few hot days here. I just need to find some Silica Gel packets, thank you.

You do it your way and if I ever need to, I'll do it mine. Just the way it is. BTW, where to you buy warm DRY air? Living in NJ...and exactly how do you know that is dry? other than moving to maybe Arizona. As far as Silica Gel, if after letting a hand full of packets (or loose) do it's thing and the fogging hasn't cleared, you have a bigger problem than you think.


Indoor air will be adequately dry, or it wouldn't be fit to live in. Simple as that. I'm sure it doesn't need to be said that you shouldn't try to dry something in a kitchen or bathroom...

I dry my film in the bathroom after running the shower all the time. Keeps the dust off.

So do I Tim! But we don't have LCD or QBD or ABC problems to bother us. If my battery goes dead in the Pentax K2 I only loose the light meter, if goes dead in Toyo 45a somebody better show me where the hell it was in the first place. LOL! I do always carry a battery for my Sekonic 758dr, but I do have my old Gossen in the bag. So I can be LCDless and bateryless too.

I see...don't burn any candles either,especially from both ends... they too produce moisture.
