Olympus TG-7 First Time Use in Salt Water Troubles

[Chrisan]

Hey everyone, got my TG-7 into the water for a short snorkel yesterday (salt water) and now the zoom lever is all sticky and does not operate smoothly like it used to. I've only owned the camera a few weeks. I thoroughly rinsed the camera off after the snorkel and dunked it later in the day. Thoughts? Thanks, Chris

Soak it in warm water while manipulating the levers and buttons.
I assume you mean the naked camera, with no housing?

Ok thanks. I have soaked it in water and manipulated the buttons. I'll try warmer water
