salt water on camera

13 years 2 months ago #26374 by Wood
Some salt water splash up onto my camera. I wouldn't be too concern if it was just normal water. Is there a special way I should clean my camera?

Maybe just get a damp cloth and wipe the camera and lens down. As long as the salt water didn't get into the camera.

Depends on how much got on it. Of course if some got in the camera body or into the lens itself, then it's trouble. But if it's just a few drops, just wipe it clean. Plastic doesn't rust. ;)

Thank you, both of you. So far the camera is still working. :thumbsup:

I'm glad it works. That would suck to lose a camera to salt water.

Well as others have said if it just splashed on the wipe it. If it ever gets in then take out the battery immediately and have a shop clean it out. This is also true for any liquids getting inside. For fresh water though you can let it fully dry out by using Silica Bags or make a small bag filled with rice.
