hope it's ok!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
If you tried to tun it on while it was still wet you probably shorted out the electronics in the camera!. There is a good chance you'll be buying a new camera!. IMO you should consider the Olympus Stylus SW series because they are waterproof to 10 feet and shockproof to a 5 foot drop!.
NEVER NEVER NEVER use compressed air anywhere close to your camera!. NEVER! Its a great way to drive dust and grit into your lens and other parts of your camera!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
A drink spilled in my bag with my camera!. It turned on, but I toweled off the outside!. If it was a heavy downpour you might be out of luck, but since it isn't working right now you might as well try to low setting hair drier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
Compressed air or a cool setting on the hair dryer is ideal!. Then leave in your hot water cupboard for a few days!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
