Default Help, how do I dry out wet camcorder?



The one Rule about wet electronics is not to power it up while wet.
Remove battery immediately, open any cavities and dry for a week. With
salt water, flush it out well first.

If you get water in the optics or the hard drive (they're not
moisture-tight) those parts will probably be destroyed. Sal****er is
nasty stuff, you could try opening it up and washing the boards but it's
probably time for a new camera.
