  • Use a microfiber cloth to remove moisture on your iPhone camera. This is because moisture usually stays outside the camera and not within the component. 
  • Put your iPhone in a bag of rice. Yes, this is the most common technique used by smartphone owners when their devices accidentally submerge in water. 
  • Try using a silica gel. Just place it near the camera. It will draw away the moisture after a few hours.

So, the best advice you can follow is to avoid placing your iPhone in humid places, especially if you don't know its water-resistance feature efficiency.
