The simple answer is to keep your camera dry as much as possible. If you spend time in wet/humid environments, make sure to let the camera dry up completely when you get back home (remove the lens and let it sit in a dry place for a while).
Fungus and mold take time to develop so don't worry if your camera is exposed to moisture for a couple of days at a time. As long as you dry it out before storing it for prolonged periods of time you will probably be ok.
What Guy said, and try to get a hand on some of those silica bags? (those small bags sit along your shoes when you buy them)
And put those in your camera bag.

5 repliesI came recently to Hartford, CT from India on an assignment. How do I protect my equipments from from fungus attack?
I'm not sure if it attacks my camera/lens in these conditions. Any input would be helpful.
