First off, it may never be as it was. And don't operate the camera until it has fully dried out. Remove the battery. Open all covers and such. And let it sit out for about a week.
If it has been over a week and there is still problems, well, there may be nothing more to do... sorry.
Wal-mart sells a closet dehumidifier, actually a desiccant (like those little bags and plastic tubes you find in shoe boxes and in aspirin bottles), that sells for around $3.00. It absorbs moisture form the surrounding air.
If you could find it (a forgot the brand name, something like dry-it closet dehumidifier) or something like it, place the camera along with what I just mentioned in a box (that can be closed) big enough for them both and place in an area of room temperature for about a week or so.
Even if you can't find the desiccant, let the camera sit out like a wrote above. - WILLBERT brand closet dehumidifier -

Quickly turn off the camera, remove the batteries, and open up all the ports. Like stated above, put it in a bag of rice, or just let it air dry for a good day or two.
This is only a suggestion, though. The camera might be ruined, even if you had done this immediately. The only thing to do then is get a new one.

every time you spill drinks on electronics you ought to right away ability it off and disconnect all batteries and ability cables. This must be achieved till the gadget is authorized to clearly dry out. Water is the main suitable element you may spill on it because of the fact there isn't any sugars or something left over while it does dry out. even though it must be dry once you restart it. it may take a number of days for a working laptop or computing device to dry out. If it would not artwork then, you have have been given a situation. yet while that is in basic terms the keys and keyboard then possibly those have been given shorted, and you're starting to be worse issues. I spilled a a million/2 glass of grapefruit juice on an afternoon-previous computing device one time. you do not click 'close down' and look ahead to it; you in basic terms disconnect all ability so that is off as quickly as obtainable. My computing device grew to become into superb till a pair of three hundred and sixty 5 days later while some thing occurred unrelated to it; regrettably i grew to become into denied guarantee provider because of the fact there grew to become into grapefruit evidence under the keyboard! So in case you have a situation, and you're in guarantee, you're in luck because of the fact water shouldn't leave any residue. do exactly not point out the spill ;-) playstation a pair cases an afternoon, close a paper towel in it and lay it the different way up. The paper towel ought to soak up lots of the water that would not evaporate.

I think prayer may be needed. I have put cell phones in a bowl of rice for a day to dry it out, and it worked great. Make sure you remove the batteries.

Gravity and water are the leading killers of digital cameras. Use it as a paperweight and look for after Christmas sales on cameras.
