Do SLR cameras and lenses have to use moistureproof box? Can I put it in the camera bag and lens box?

SLR cameras and lenses don't have to use moistureproof box, they need to look at the air humidity.

If the relative humidity of the camera storage location is 20%-30%, moistureproof box can be ignored, and the camera bag and lens cover can be used for storage, but if the value is lower, it needs to be dry-proof, and SLR cameras and lenses need to be stored in moistureproof box.

Because the air humidity is too high, the internal circuit of the camera will be short-circuited and the shutter will rust, which will lead to a series of problems such as inaccurate exposure of photos. When the camera and lens are corroded, even if the user removes the mold, the damage to the coating is irreversible and the lens will eventually be scrapped. Therefore, it is necessary to have a camera moistureproof box before it happens.

Extended data

When the camera is not in use, no matter whether the lithium battery or the No.5 battery is used, the battery should be taken out of the digital camera and stored separately, especially the disposable battery cannot be placed in the camera for a long time. If there is no moistureproof box or moisture-proof equipment, the camera should be stored in a relatively ventilated and dry place.

When the air is very humid, it is easy to breed bacteria. In such an environment, when the camera and lens are exposed to the air, bacteria will breed spores, invade the lens or the inside of the fuselage, and attach to the lens, and continue to multiply and expand with the increase of moisture in the air, thus damaging the camera and lens.

Therefore, in very humid air, if the camera bag and lens cover are used for storage, the moisture cannot be blocked and the SLR camera and lens cannot be prevented from being eroded, so the camera bag and lens cover cannot be used for storage.
