Peter Fuller's remarks are effectively what I would have recommended ,
following an occasion on which an acquaintance drowned the computer of
his Range Rover in a swamp (mounted under the driver's seat). After he
was pulled out it was time to make camp anyway.
The black box was removed and stripped, and everything sloshed around in
a couple of buckets of drinking water. By then the campfire was going,
and the bits were gently toasted and reassembled. As far as I know, it's
still going.
There are differences though; cameras have moving parts! So using
methylated spirits to strip the water from all the crevices wouldn't be
a good idea.
In the days of mechanical cameras the method was to open it up and put
it in the WC and flush several times.
