Salt Water in Action 3
Hi! I was swimming in Albania when I realised that my action 3 wasn’t sealed properly (it was in the water for like 3 minutes before I noticed). I tried to turn it on in the water (before I saw that it wasn’t sealed) it didn’t turn on then I saw it and I swam to offshore I had my hand out of the water so the camera wasn’t in the water while I was swimming offshore, it turned on, but it said that it didn’t have any SD card, I immediately turned it off and took it apart, took out the battery and the sd card, water was “pouring“ out of it. I immediately dried it using a towel and sat it on the sun (this was after 7:30 so the sun wasn’t strong) then after like 20-30 minutes I realised that i need to clean it using fresh water so I did, I washed it with half a liter of water. after that I put it on the sun and tried to dry it using a towel. Since all of this I Haven’t closed it, haven’t put it together and haven’t turned it on. Do you guys think I have a chance that it will turn on fine after a few days?
