It's the care afterwards that matters, don't just plonk a wet camera back in the bag and forget it. Take it apart (that is, lens off) and wipe everything dry, then back together and leave in front of a warm flow of air (both camera and bag) for an hour or so.

When my E-PL5 got extremely wet I did that wipe off and then some time in front of a warm (not hot) air-con vent and all fine.

That makes sense. I usually just leave my E-M5 out on the open (nice to stare at when you're not using it) so water never condenses on it. My friend on the other hand, I do recall off the top of my head that he had moisture condensation on one of his Canon lenses so it is probably that he lets condensation take its toll where I wouldn't.

I'll be sure he gets a hold of this thread for future camera handling.

Thanks again
