Today before work I was hiking, slipped and fell into a creek and my Sony A7R w/ Metabones adaptor + Canon 24-70 f2.8 got dunked for a split second. I immediately turned the camera off, hiked out and headed home. I then did the following: 1. Removed battery 2. Removed SD card 3. opened doors, etc. I left everything out to dry under a ceiling fan and headed back to work. I was in a rush to get back to work and stupidly didn't open the LCD screen all the way. I also stupidly put everything back in and turned the camera on when I got home to try it out. It was turning on, but acting really weird so I turned everything off and removed everything again and did some more research and finally decided to put the camera (with the sensor covered) in a bag of rice. In short, I'm asking if any other A7 owners have had this experience? I'm also curious if the mistakes that I made (turning the camera back on briefly, not putting in rice immediately) could prove to be fatal? Any thoughts or insight appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone has had this happen to them before? My camera got damaged by water while on a boat. Luckily, it turned on a day after and is working perfectly fine. The only exception is that there is water trapped where you look through it with your eye (I don't know what it's actually called lol). I left it in my car so the water could evaporate, but there is still a bit of it left. It did help, but not completely. I have attached an image to better show what I am referring too. Any help or tips would be appreciated. If anyone could provide me with the name of the part in case it needs to be replaced, please let me know. Thank you. IMG_1999.heic
