misty eyepiece

[Dewi9]

I was out in the rain the weekend, not really heavy, and I kept my omd-em5 mk1 under my arm most of the time to keep the rain off.

After getting home I dried every thing off with a towel and left it on the table to dry properly.

Today I used it again and the eyepiece has got mist inside, presumably due to the change in temperature from indoors to outdoors.

So, is this a problem ? Will it upset the electronic viewfinder ? What should I / can I, do about it ?

All suggestions welcome, especially from those who have suffered the same thing.

Thanks.

Take out the battery, pack the camera in a bag of dry rice and seal leave in a warm dry place for a couple of days. This should absorb any moisture.

Thanks.

Do you think the problem may have been caused by me using standard lenses ( oly 12-50, panasonic 45-175) which are not entirely waterproof ?

I thought the oly 12-50 was waterproof?
