So...I posted just over a week ago when my DSC-RX100M3 found its way into one of the few remaining micr-pools left of our stream and was immersed with water being visible behind the lens. With a minimal knowledge of cameras I checked to see if the camera was working (which I've since been told was the worst thing I could do) and then proceded to mop all obvious water off and placed it in a very warm area to dry out.
After 24 hours there was no longer visible water behind the lens, but looking through the viewfinder, the appearance was as of a thick mist.
I posted it off to Sony and had it returned today saying that water ingress meant that a repair could/would not be done as a repair guarantee could not be given.
I expected to find the camera as before, but it was not. The image through the viewfinder looks very clear. Pics. taken on auto settings outside look over-exposed and indoors as though objects in the foreground are in focus, but not in focus a little further away. Could this just be down to some setting alteration made whilst the camera was being inspected? (Bear in mind I am not deserving of a decent camera as a) I'm not safe with them b) I tend to use the auto setting all the time.......but I'm not beyond being able to learn.
Any advice would be very welcome.
Solved! Go to Solution.
instead of going trough the settings and check which could be the direct cause for your issue, I recommend to reset the camera to factory settings, since this resets all the settings made during inspection.

Thank You, Nic,
It's currently sitting in a sealed box with a 'Moisture Magnet' to draw out any drop of residual moisture. I'll do a reset after a couple of days (after saying my prayers!)
