Camera = Fubar? )=

   My camera is fubar!! )=!!!!

   Yesterday my boss Dave, his friend Bruce, and technician Ryan went out on Dave's new boat. We went out to San Clemente Island, which is 55 nautical miles off the coast (about twice as far as Catalina Island). We saw several whales, as well as dolphins and sea lions. I got pictures of all these things, and a picture of Dave in mid air as he dove off the top of his boat, a picture I was particularly excited about. The weather was mostly real nice, and I swam around out by San Clemente. Unfortunately coming back however the water was real choppy and a fog bank just offshore gave us about 15 feet of visibility for the last half hour (fortunately we had radar and a GPS chartplotter).
   Unfortunately, my relatively new camera was subjected to some salt water spray from the wet return trip. I was optimistic that the camera would be fine since it didnt' look very wet, just some drips on the outside, and was working once we disembarked. This morning, however, attempts to turn it on would only make the "print" button glow for a moment (?!), even after I replaced the batteries. I drove over asap to the Canon corporate office and repair center in Irvine, but its closed on weekends. I'm extremely concerned about my camera )= I've heard that salt-water is extremely corrosive to cameras and I want to get it attention as soon as possible. )= )=

Camera = FUBAR

I think my camera is FUBAR!!

Yesterday I went out to San Clemente Island (55 nautical miles out) with my boss on his new boat, and brought my camera and took some pictures. Unfortunately, it got some salt water spray on it. I was hopeful it would be fine because it was never like soaked, just drips on the side, and it was working when we disembarked. Today however, I couldn't get it to turn on (and yes I tried changing the batteries)!!!! )=

Local canon service centre isn't open on weekends. I'm very concerned. )=
