Advertisement Hi blabubla, You may be interested in this: what is the best humidity percentage at dry box for sony A7SII? . I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
April 7, 20178 yr Author 50% are you sure about that? isn't that too high? i read an articles, and it said that if its too high the fungus can still attack your camera, because the 50% humidity is the same as the outside the drybox..
April 7, 20178 yr are you sure about that? isn't that too high? i read an articles, and it said that if its too high the fungus can still attack your camera, because the 50% humidity is the same as the outside the drybox.. Not sure of an exact figure for storage, but 50% does seem more like an ideal operating environment rather than an ideal storage environment. Problem is that in storage the air is not circulating, so humidity thaz OK operationally could condense is the storage box is someplace that turns cold ... acoarst any percent humidity must be measured at a narrow temperature range or it has no meaning. Why do you wanna know a somewhat exact humidity ? What harm come to the camera if the storage is simply as dry as is possible ? With a violin, too dry cracks the wood and or finish, while too damp grows fungus. So a specified humidity is good to know. But with the camera, I'd think "the dryer the better". Is there some harm to cameras from too dry a storage box ?

April 7, 20178 yr I'd say 40-50 is optimal , I set mine 45 for few years. no problems at all. You don't want it too dry. (say lower than 40) Or you are risking the rubber part in your camera/lens to crack.
