Jan 29, 4. Wouldn't it matter what the water was, too? Like its pH and stuff? Whether it was saltwater? I've heard stories about how you develop film in orange juice and coffee, but I'm not sure if they are true anyway. Jan 29, 5. Messages: 9, I had some Velvia on spools which got soaked by rain in a leaking bag after exposure.
There are no signs of any adverse effects. Jan 29, 6. Not tried the orange juice thing. You might have problems with the film sticking to itself with 35mm, or the paper in the case of film. I've read of someone who ran a film through the washing machine, tried to get it processed, wouldn't let them, so they put some rice and the film in a sealed bag and left it since rice absorbs moisture, like in salt shakers and forgot about it and it grew all sorts of mould and it caused weird crazing on the film and strange colours.

Otherwise film getting contact with clean water before or after developing is normal, it should not change the pictures on it. About film in the freezer, as mentioned it should be stored there in a ziplock bag so condensation when taken out is formed on the ouside of the bag.
Jan 29, Messages: 29, If you drop film in water before exposure it can damage it by leaving spots or sticking together. If it happens after exposure, the best route is to totally wet it, keep it wet and then process with a good prewet before the process starts. If you drop your camera in water and know the guts got wet, place it in distilled water and soak well, then dry well. Check to see if it works.
If so, you are clear. Remove the film beforehand and wash well then run the process cycle when the film is still wet. Messages: Put the camera in your car on a hot summer day and the water will all disappear. Dont know where it goes A Camry!!! You may need to leave it in the bag longer for complete drying. The rice or silica gel work by drawing the moisture out of the camera without you having to open it prematurely and risk letting water into more areas.
Never place a wet camera in a hot oven as this can destroy the camera and cause exposure to dangerous chemicals. A camera exposed to salt water may be beyond saving because of the highly corrosive nature of salt. As the damages from salt water may have already destroyed your camera, you have little to lose by taking it apart and wiping down the inside with distilled water and a clean cloth.
You can then continue the drying process and see about repairs. Corrosion caused by the moisture slowly grows until it crosses a solder trace or otherwise causes a short circuit. Rivers, ponds, and sometimes even tap water are alive with all sorts of microbes that can take up residence in your camera or lens. Cloth shutters absorb these critters and slowly mold. Some lenses grow lovely flora patterns that resemble delicate window frost--just before the aperture blades seize and the lens becomes inoperative.
Next step: send it to the manufacturer for analysis and professional service. If you were able to obtain silica gel in permeable paper bags, include a generous supply along with your shipment. The box may sit a couple of days before being opened--the silica gel will continue to work on your behalf. The camera manufacturer's warranty never covers damage caused by water damage--but some after-market "extended warranties" do.
If you have one, read the fine print before deciding where the item should be sent. An Ounce Of Prevention Although some cases and bags claim water-resistant properties, it's not wise to rely solely on your gadget bag to protect your gear. Even if it could withstand an Amazon downpour, it's likely you'd transfer some of the water from the outside to the equipment inside.
Besides, camera equipment sitting inside a big, wet bag is like you sitting inside a big, wet overcoat. Pack Your Bags A plastic garbage bag can save the day. If you're caught outside when the clouds begin to burst, place the camera in the bag and the bag in your innermost pocket. Even a small sandwich bag will help, provided it's large enough to be sealed with the camera inside.
Some professionals carry bags big enough to enclose their entire gadget bags. The lesson here? Pack your bags. Underwater Housing If you participate in wet sports--canoeing or kayaking, for example--you're going to get wet, so look into an underwater housing for your camera.
They're expensive, but cheaper than replacing your camera. They allow full operation of every camera function, and are terrific for snorkeling and skiing. Some can be used underwater as deep as ft. Submitted by Gisele Adams on September 9, - am Thanks for sharing this post.
Let me share something about silica gel. It has many uses. It can be used for keeping food fresh.
