House is air conditioned due to the (NSW coastal) hot humid weather. When I take my camera outside from the cool indoor environment it not surprisingly fogs up. Moisture forms on the cool surfaces both internally and externally until it warms to ambient temperature and humidity. Nothing new about this, however it concerns me. I've taken to leaving my camera and lenses outside overnight in ambient, though humid temperature therefore no moisture from temperate changes. Am I doing the right thing? Please don't tell me to relocate to a dry desert environment or other silly stuff - just thoughtful advice gratefully accepted and thanks in advance.

Hi Warren,

Yes, you are doing the 'right' thing, leave the gear outside overnight, I have done this many times in northern Australia.  The opposite happens in cold climates when you bring your gear into a warm heated environment.  A common remedy in this case is to put the gear in a sealed plastic bag until it warms up.  I see no reason why this would not work in warm humid conditions.  Put the gear in a sealed plastic bag inside the house before taking it outside, and once outside, wait for it to warm up before removing it from the plastic bag.

Cheers,  Ian
