Just received a Pentax K10D through the post today and any glass on the camera or lens has condensation on it, just wondering what the best thing to do is?
 
Probably because it was really cold outside when in the delivery van, and really warm inside your home.

If it was mine I would first take all the batteries out of it and then leave the camera alone for 48hours to acclimatise.

But it's probably a good idea to ring the manufacturer service number and ask them for advice.
 
Either

use a lens cloth and wipe the surfaces, or

leave the camera in a warm room and the condensation will evaporate.

I favour the latter, but I don't think there is much to recommend one method over the other.

Left it to evaporate and seems fine now - just wanted to check i wasn't meant to do something else
