Well.... cameras aren't known to be water resistant :-D If under 1 year, your warranty is shot now anyway. Unless you feel like trying to open the case up to clean any noticeable areas that were damaged by water, you're really left with contacting Canon. My guess is there was still water in the camera (condensation droplets, maybe) and fried some part of the electronics. I think it's dead :-/

Here's a hail mary idea.

A Washington Post reporter who accidentally dropped his Blackberry in the toilet was able to retrieve it and dry it out to working order again: by leaving it turned off in a bowl of uncooked rice. Reader Chris writes in to say:

There's a grain of truth (punny, huh?) to this in that rice quickly sucks up the surrounding moisture. Make sure the environment is free from excess humidity, drop the wet device in a container of rice and let it sit. For a better desiccant, it'd be a good idea to store all those little silica gel packets that come in anything from shoe boxes to moisture-sensitive gadgets.

Ass for frying the electronics, Matt, that usually only happens in salt water.
