Try to keep you're M4 in direct sun light when no in use/ "Cleanly with a body cap on so you don't run the shutter. Do the same with lenses too. UV light kills fungus and can prevent it.

Just put a couple packs of silica gel in your case and it will be a-ok anon.

fungus sucks and it's likely the cause of being in a humid environment. They sell cabinets that control humidity similar to humidors for cigar enthusiasts. Actually I'd bet putting your camera in a humidor wouldn't be a bad idea if you live in a swamp. Taking your camera from ac into the heat would probably cause enough condensation to eventually build inside your camera/lens for growth.

fungus might be the least of your worries if you ding up your camera keeping it out of the case in transit. It would still be a good idea to take it out of the case when you get home in case of trapped moisture.

don't worry anon, your camera will likely last longer than your physical body if you take care of it.

this is not a bad idea at all

I hear the best repair shop is Kanto Camera.

Keep hoping I will hear from someone on /p/ with experience there, but they all use others.

There's no point being paranoid. Leave the inside of the case open to the sun for a while, keep it at 20 degrees and dry. You shouldn't have it happen again.

This, just don't burn a crescent into your shutter.
