Water on the camera...camera not working now!
An anecdote from an ex-boss: he was at a marine research institution in Chile when a tsunami swamped all the labs, fortunately while the staff were all out. All electonic equipment was drenched in seawater. However, some of the better made stuff, like Tektronix oscilloscopes, were then soaked for some days in several changes of tap water, followed by distilled water and when they were dried out they worked again pretty well.
Whether a soak in distilled/de-ionised water is permissible for a camera I don't know.
Lizars 1910 "Challenge" quarter-plate camera; and some more recent stuff.

Any suggestions on what to do? Is the sensor shot now? Can this be fixed?
Welcome ideas on what to do... (Unfortunately) I’m on a cruise so my options are somewhat limited at the moment... ughhhh!
