I want to thank everyone for chiming in here with their suggestions. All of them, will be put to use. Have now moved my camera bag into a room I don't use often and have closed the register to that room so the camera will be a bit warmer than where I usually keep it and hopefully will not require to much time to equalize when I bring it outside. Also ordered silica gel.
Didi, I want to wish you a warm welcome from me along with the rest of those on staff here at WPF. It's good to have you here. We are always gentle here
