How do I get water out of my mobile camera?

To get water out of your mobile camera, you have a few options, focusing on drying the moisture out:

Methods for Removing Water From Your Mobile Camera

Here are the recommended methods, based on the provided reference:

Power Off: Immediately turn off your phone to prevent any short circuits.
Placement: Place your phone in a dry area where the moisture can evaporate naturally. This might take several hours. The exact time will vary based on how much water has entered your phone.

If you need the phone to dry faster than natural evaporation can allow, the following methods may be used:

Vacuum Cleaner: Use a vacuum cleaner to carefully suck out any water from openings on the phone, including the camera lens area.
Compressed Air: Use a can of compressed air to blow out water from the phone's crevices and camera. Be sure to use short bursts of air rather than long continuous ones.
Hairdryer (Low Setting): If you use a hairdryer, set it to the lowest temperature setting and use it briefly. High heat can damage your phone.

Important Considerations:

Avoid Rice: While often suggested, placing your phone in rice is not generally recommended because it might introduce rice dust into the phone.
Patience: Regardless of method, patience is crucial. Rushing the drying process can cause further problems.
Professional Help: If you have a lot of water in your phone, or you are unable to get the water out, it is important to take it to a qualified professional for repair.
