If Your Digital Camera Gets Wet

Bad luck happens to the best of us, and there are countless ways your camera may get wet. In my case, I once dropped my camera in a river while kayaking. If your camera does get wet though, there are some things you can do to growth the chances that it will remain functional. This is a collection of info I have found during the investigate I did after my camera got wet.

Once your camera gets wet, immediately take off the battery and memory card. These will be the easiest two things to save, even if the camera is toast. Now, if you drop the camera in salt water, it is probably best to rinse the camera in fresh water (preferably distilled) to take off any salt. If you have silica packets (often found in the packaging of many everyday products) put those in a bag with the camera, as they work great to Ant. Eject moisture. If you don't have any silica, even rice will work in the same way to control humidity and take off moisture. You can also take off the case of the camera if you want and let it air dry, or use a hair dryer on the lowest setting. Whatever you do, do no turn the camera on until you are obvious all the moisture is out of the camera. It is best to do a proper drying job as turning it on with any water left inside will likely fry the circuitry. As soon as you are able, you should also call a local camera shop and ask them for advice, and they may want to take a look at it.

Another method you can try as suggested by one of my friends is to rinse the camera in distilled water, hang dry it, and then wrap it in some socks and duct tape it to the inside of a drying machine. After running the dryer for a few hours all the moisture should be wholly removed. My friend claims this has worked in the past on a cell phone.
