Rice absorbs water well and can save your camera from water damage.
Water damage can ruin a camera and cause you to have to spend money on a repair or replacement. Fortunately, it is easy to save a camera from water damage by drying it out before the water can damage the internal parts. This can be achieved using rice -- rice is very absorbent and can be used to dry out your camera completely. Simply submerge the camera in a bag of rice and give it time to dry.
Instructions
1. Towel-dry the camera and remove all removable parts such as the battery, memory card and SIM card. Keep the doors to these parts open. If the camera is an SLR, remove the lens and place the body cap on the body.
2. Fill a plastic bag with enough rice to cover the entire camera and its removable parts, then place the camera and camera parts in the bag.
3. Check the rice after a few days to see if it is wet. If it the rice is wet, remove the camera and parts from the bag and replace the rice with dry rice. Allow the camera and parts to stay in the bag until the camera is completely dry.
