Well I just got educated on what I have not been doing to maintain my cameras. I clean up my cameras every time I visit them but just the crud all over outside. I just found out how critical it is to clean the main body seal with wet Q tips to remove the dirt and grime that can and will build up on these seals. Seems intuitive but I just never really deep cleaned these seals. So I brought one in and HOLY COW and eye opener on how dirty these seals can get. The seal "looked" a little dirty but once you clean down with wet Q tip and then dry one, It is amazing the difference the seal looks. Plus there is a seal under antennae that needs to be cleaned as well. These seals are the cameras defense against moisture intrusion and its critical they be cleaned periodically.

Just my bad on not doing this regularly. So just a thought to share if you are seeing moisture inside case body, clean them seals!
