Place it in a sealed container covered in rice for a few days. The rice will absorb the moisture. Works on cell phone dropped on water too.

SOURCE: olympus 795 sw lens moisture

Exterior:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth. If the camera is very dirty, soak the cloth in mild soapy water and wring well.
Wipe the camera with the damp cloth and then dry it with a dry cloth. If you have used the camera at the beach, use a cloth soaked in clean water and wrung well.
• If any dirt, dust, sand, or other foreign material adheres to the periphery of the lens cover after use, or the lens cover does not move smoothly, wash the camera using the method described on P. 66.
Monitor:
• Wipe gently with a soft cloth.
Lens:
• Blow dust off the lens with a commercial blower, then wipe gently with a lens cleaner.
Battery/Charger:
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.
Note
• Do not use strong solvents such as benzene or alcohol, or chemically treated cloth.
• Mold may form on the lens surface if the lens is left dirty.

SOURCE: camera lens broken

well i guess you can try any camera shop to have it sent out for repair, but get a quote first. Often it is cheaper to replace the camera rather than have it repaired. If you have insurance you can make a claim for the repair depending on replacement cost

SOURCE: moisture on the lens

If moisture is in the lens, it is inside the camera.
Best to remove the battery or batteries and let it dry out in a warm area for a few days. This may not remove the moisture like taking the camera case off. This may be a job you may not want to tackle.
Corrosion will eventually cause problems within the camera.
It may be that the moisture inside may already have damaged some parts or components or caused a short.

Moisture light wont go out

There can be only one reason, there is still moisture inside it. You should not have operated it for 3-4 days, so that it can get dried fully.

How to remove moisture from canon ixus 130 camera screen

Over time it should dry. Chance of moisture in other parts of camera? Suggest removing batteries and not using at all until you are sure no moisture inside that could cause electrical damage. My
Powershot fell in a river while hiking and simply let it dry out over a few weeks. The screen has internal blemishes, but that doesn't affect the photographs.

I have a Olympus C-750 UltraZoom. I was taking pictures and everything was normal, but then I noticed the viewfinder was blurry. I was walking through a tunnel under a river and I thought the temperature...

Hi Steve, I inform you that the problem only is moisture. Please follow this.
1. Put the camera in sunlight for few hours. After that use it & if you face same problem then
2. You need to visit camera repair shop and they open the camera completely and clean all the inside part of the camera. because you need to clean the moisture inside of lens, viewfinder & sensor too.
So only hope in sunlight. If its solve then fine.

D80-viewer and display stay black, the flash

If your camera got moisture inside and you turned it on before it had a chance to completely dry (usually takes several days) you may have caused a short circuit.

Blurry lens after using it underwater

Sadly that symptom indicates that the camera is broken.

The device's seal protects both from the condition that you are seeing, but also protects the internal circuits from moisture.

If water has gotten inside the camera, I would pursue returning it and getting a replacement from the company.

Moisture? Blurry lens or moisture inside

I haven't tried this myself, but I have heard of folks putting their camera in sunshine, and just let it set , and others have used a hair dryer for short durations. Like I said I haven't tried these, and usually moisture is a camera killer.
