Rice is not worth trying by itself.

Rice + dry heat is worth trying.

A gas oven does not provide DRY heat.
An Electric oven does.

Item in rice, at 120F for 6 hours. Remember, the alternative is landfill, so you have nothing to lose.

120F is no worse than the camera being in a vehicle on a hot day. Or outside in Saudi Arabia in August.

NOTE: The issue is dissolved solids in the water bridging traces on circuit boards, or corrupting fine gears or motors. Not the conductivity of the water itself - which is not unless such dissolved solids are there. Keep that in mind. If you can get to the circuit boards and such, saturating them in a 100% volatile material to remove the water and the salts might work. AKA: WD-40 (Running for cover). It works. After the WD-40 *THEN* the rice and heat.

Maybe even a rinse with distilled water, then WD-40 then rice + heat.
