Canon Coolpix water damage

50HX

have a nice coolpix canon camera- brother was out yestarday taking a few snaps in the rain and now it's taking an age to charge and when it does it will take a photo but i can't go back to view it

it freezes then after about 5mins

is this camera broken for good or is there a way to repair it

any help at all would be really appreciated

i am a complete novice on camera's

thanks

Take the battery out and put the camera in a warm place wrapped in a dry towel. Put it in the hot press for about an hour or so. It might dry it up inside. Make sure you take battery out first
