A good way to reduce moisture inside the camera can be to replace or add additional silica packs inside the camera, however, please note, the silica packs that came with the camera will be towards the back of the camera. This procedure will be at your own risk since it will  require you to open or dismantle the camera.  For additional information on how to prevent or reduce condensation within your camera, click here.
