10 minutes or less will do, even in a fridge. The air in the case will quickly be as dry as the air in the fridge.
As soon as you open the fridge door, it gets condensation on it.
In theory, but not in practice. Close the case when still in the fridge.
"In theory there is no difference between theory and practice. In practice there is."
No in theory the fridge method makes sense,
The problem of fogging is caused by humid air on the inside fogging the camera when the outside gets colder than the air....causing the humid air on the inside to condense on the inside of the lens when the lens gets colder than the original air that's trapped inthere.....such as during a water submersion.
When you take the sealed camera out of the fridge you will get condensation on the OUTSIDE. Not a problem because the air on the inside is cold and dry due to the reduced amount of moisture cold air is able to absorb.
Of course opening it up for any reason (battery change etc) will kill any effect this has as it relys on the case being totally air tight. I suspect there is some air leakage that will occur so Given long enough the effects will be lost.
I wouldn't expect it to help if you have to drive say an hour or 2 to your local kite spot.
