After you recharge your desiccant canister, make sure to seal it in something like a pair of zip lock bags or a tightly sealed plastic container. Otherwise it will quickly become as useless as pantry rice. Most change color to indicate it needs to be refreshed.

Will do, and will store it in my climate controlled music room. I'm very pleased with the performance of the tg4 now that I keep it in my music room. No fog anywhere! I can't tell you how happy I am to have finally gotten a handle on this little camera.

Second time out after storing camera in climate-controlled music room, 50% relative humidity, all doors open. At the beach, in the water, lens and rear screen crystal clear. Hallelujah! I probably didn't even need to order the desiccant pack but it wasn't very expensive and I'm sure it will come in handy. Yeah, totally a humidity issue, and I wish I had known this from the start. Oh well, all's well that ends well. Thanks, everybody.

So the replacement tg6 arrived a few days ago and I've had an opportunity to use it underwater and I am happy to report that both the dehumidified tg-6 and thedthe tg4 are working perfectly. Crystal clear! A joy!  I'm just a little embarrassed that I returned the tg6 for an issue that probably was not the camera's, thank you, I learned a lot here.
