If it gets very humid outside, camera lenses become foggy, how do you deal with it?

You will get humidity in the Lens, but generally it is not a problem here in Qatar, wait a bit and it disappears. In Countries where you got Higher Humidity over longer time, Fungus(mold) might start growing inside the Lens and first then it becomes a problem and affects the Picture Quality

Before going outside in the humidity put your camera in a zip lock bag. When you go outside the zip lock bag will mist up with the humidity, when the mist goes your camera is safe to take out of the zip lock bag and use as normal. The zip lock bag acts as a damp proof bag and allows your camera to get up to the outside conditions without letting the camera be subjected to the humidity straight from indoors and fogging up. Try it, it works great
