Spyer2 said:A dry box or also known as Dessicator is a must for store camera.
The drying agent absorbs the moisture inside the cabinet, and the absorption process will automatically stop once the setting humidity level is achieved ideal range is between 30~50RH. The absorbed moisture will then be heated and discharged as vapor. :bwhat:

A drybox is just an air tight container that you store your camera equipment. normally you cannot control the humidity level. Just throw in a small amount of sillica ball and it will work fine.

Witness said:normally i use only a blower and brush.....always blower first for me after every shoot....
i never use clothor alcohol etc....esp after a beach shoot....which are popular nowadays....there may be fine particles on the lens....if use cloth like sandpapering it like tt...
then not in use into the drybox it goes....
Witness said:oh icer i know wat u talking about.....if i am not wrong, it is a valve to open close the silica gel hatch....
when u open the cover, close the valve, otherwise the silica will absorb moisture from surrounding.....
when u close the cover, open the valve, so tt the silica gel will only absorb moisture from within the box....
good wat, makes the gel last longer....
