I think EdN is right that you have to remove the battery and card as soon as possible.


I know some that dropped his camera in a river, took it home, into the oven (stove) at 40-50 degrees Celcius for some time, and it was perfectly ok. But that was 20 years ago, and a film-based camera, that could take some more beating than a DSLR. Still, it could be worth trying. Using a hair-dryer you risk blowing dust into the camera, and in fact make things worse.


After the oven, I would use silica-pouches. I recon you can get a lot for free if you ask any shop selling electrical devices.


And of course, no microwave... [:P]
