Re: Olympus TG4 overpressurisation

I've heard one way to try to save a camera immediately after a salt water exposure is to submerge it in fresh water and let it soak.  (Preferably distilled water, but that's never available when you need it.)  The idea being that the fresh water will essentially do the same thing as a dunk tank and wick away the salt before it starts corrosion.

Then you of course have to dry it out, but at least that's conceivable.

I wonder if there are any signs of salt exposure inside the areas of the camera you can easily view, like a battery compartment?
