nope :sweat:
tks to the digital hygrometer,
at least now i can pinpoint which one is at fault.
The Akarui brand is working fine, it analogue hygrometer is malfunctioning.
whereas for the digi-cabi brand. the cabi itself is malfunctioning, but the hygrometer is working albeit diff by bit as compare to the digital reading...

lesson learnt....
#1 get the digital hygrometer version...it can make yr life easier...
#2 for emergency get the electric dehumidfier(silica gel + heating element combo,re-useable, if turn pink reheat it blue again by plugging it into any ac outlet )

Hi Bro Docdeng , borrow your thread for some questions .

My A100 was left in the Digicab but once a while (Maybe once every 2 days) i did bring it out to shoot , anything , outside my window or justbring downstairs to shoot my kids playing at the playground ...

This evening , i found that the sticky sticky thing on the Hand Grip is getting worst ! Then the Hand Grip piece of rubber is dropping out already !!! :faint:

Does this means the Body cannot be put in the Digicab ? My both bodies are always kept inside ... Will it spoil my bodies now ? :(

55% should be ok. Is your palm sweaty most of the time ? and did you wipe clean the camera grip area before storing ?

My previous A100 has grip pealing issue but not the sticky problem. Got it replaced when under warranty.

RH meter faulty?

Is there any external RH meter we can buy if we don't trust the Digi-cab's meter?
