All the water was wiped off, the camera then wiped over with a damp cloth using fresh water, compressed air used very gently to blow water out of nooks and cranneys. All rubber flaps and doors opened, pop-up flash etc opened, the sealing on all of these worked and there were no signs of water ingress, batteries and lens removed, caps put on and then everything sat on a clean towel on the bathroom floor, our bathroom has low level electric under-floor heating, just warm to touch, left there for twelve hours to dry out. Camera then cleaned again and put back together, all seems to work ok.
Not to be recommended!
