leak or condensation?

[espadin]

Hello, I am seeing tiny droplets forming around the corners of the inside of the u/w case (go pro hero 10). the volume of water is not even 1 drop from a pipette.
I have seen condensation on the lens in the past, and with such condensation I couldnot see individual specks, it was a very fine mist.

is there a way of determining if its condensation or a leak, maybe by warming or cooling the camera housing after the dive?
thanks

Do you use Silica gel sachets, or at least toilet paper to absorb moisture from the trapped air.

Is the air dry where you close the housing. And don’t leave it in direct sunlight.

You can run into condensation issues if the housing and the camera experience significant temp/humidity change before and after the dive. In short, the trapped air (as referenced by @Edward3c) is the likely culprit. Also, check to see that the gasket is well seated.

Condensation is fresh water. Leaks (in the ocean) are salty. You can taste the difference.

A man after my own heart, such a simple test.
