Thank you all very much for the information. I will spend some time with it this weekend and swab it down and see what it looks like it.

I did take a Q Tip and wipe within the mirror box. A layer of dirt and some of the white particles came off.

There is absolutely no smell.

I think this could be a good camera for inclement weather or leaving in the car for spontaneous use, things like that. Nice camera for those uses and who cares if it gets drenched occassionally.

So I think I will swab it well inside and out, change out the seals and see what happens.

I'll report back once I have it cleaned up

What did one toe with athlete's feet say to the other toes?

"There is a fungus among us!"




Good luck with the camera equipment.

You need to replace all the foam anyway. Just clean it up and be happy. Don't be so afraid of fungus, they make antibiotics.

Exactly! Just replace the foam, which you would do regardless.
