Re: Rain and the E-M1

Not a lot to add to what's been posted but I notice you have two Pro zooms. The 40-150 being internal zoom won't pump much air but the 12-40 does, and it's possible you pulled air into the camera body that way. Don't have mine with me to double-check but I think the E-M1 air vent is under the card door (somebody please correct me if it's elsewhere). If moisture gets behind the door then it has a path into the camera.

That would be my top point of entry presuming all your caps, etc. are in place and in good condition and you're using sealed lenses.

Hopefully merely drying it out is enough to restore reliable service. I've had mine in extended rain a few times and no problems...so far.

Cheers,

Rick
