View Full Version : Dropped my camera in the lake

I was canoeing on a lake and the wind came up fast, and the waves too, and our canoe tipped. I had been keeping the camera in a zip lock bag but had taken some shots and quickly tucked it in my sweatshirt pocket. I understand that if I take the camera apart and air dry it for a few days I might be able to save it. So I am looking for somebody who has taken their Canon PowerShot A570IS apart and can tell me how to do it. I've taken all the screws out but I can't get it to come apart. Any advice will be appreciated.

Even if you do get it apart it'll never be the same again. Sorry for the mishap and to have to pass on that news. If you're determined, did you check under the battery compartment cover and remove the lens bezel? And ISTR there are snap tabs that also hold the cover together.
