Hi Everyone,
Over the weekend I went up to Elbow Falls, went into the water and slipped on a rock with my D80 in my backpack. The water was really shallow at the spot I took my dive but the camera got a bit wet.
The D80 had the extended battery grip on it as well and judging by how high the water mark was on the backpack it looks as though the battery grip was the only part that got submerged under the water.
I took the camera out, removed the battery and dried off as much of the water as I could in and around the camera (minus the lens mount area and inside near the sensor).
It's been 24 hours since the incident and I've taken the camera apart, used a blow dryer to bake it a little to dry it out some more.
I've inspected the camera as well and there is not a single scratch anywhere on the body and there's no damage to any contact points as well. It's still in mint condition externally.
But...the camera doesn't turn on...
Any help? I've only had this camera for a little over a month and should still have the 1 year Nikon Canada/USA warranty. I know it won't help but does Nikon fix these types of things?
Anyways if anyone has had any experience with water damage on their cameras and can provide some tips as to what they did to remedy the issue, that would be awesome.
Thanks in advance!
