Answer 1

You most likely got sand in your lens. Sand and water are the two things that are guaranteed to ruin your camera.

You should get a quote from a camera repair centre on a possible fix. If the fix price is too high, buying a new camera is your best option.

In future, never take your camera to the beach. If you insist on taking it to the beach, then buying an Olympus SW (shockproof, waterproof) series camera might be your best option (it can be used at shallow depths underwater, can be dropped from a small height and is ok to use at the beach).

Answer 2

take all the removable pieces off FAST and put it in a bag or rice. this will take all the moistere out of it im not saying u got it wet but there is moisture in the air there
