Digital camera water damage?

Question

Ok about 3 days ago, I went to Bush Gardens and I decided to put my digital camera in my pocket just to hold it. I went on the log flume ride with the digital camera.(Ive been on the log flume lots of time and I usually don't get that wet). Anyway when I was done with the log flume and some other water rides, I turned on my camera and it looked like what its seemed to have some water/moisture on the inside part of the screen. Thebscreen was whitened out want the water was like a black ball on the screen. Now, I was wonder if it would be a good idea to take the screws put around the screen and the frame of the camera and try to remove the moisure behind the screen? I kind of afraid to get electrocuted because I opened up the camera but what do you think I should do?

Answer 1

Don't do that. If your warranty hasn't already ended, trying to fix the camera yourself with definitely void it. Also, as you can probably guess, the interior of a camera is very delicate and shouldn't be handled by laymen.

Unless there is a very large amount of water inside the camera (in which case you should probably be expecting problems), I would just switch it off and leave it alone for several days in a dry place to dry out by itself.

Answer 2

Forget it. There is no way possible to repair a digital camera what ever brand it is. Send it in for an estimate.
