Travel Photography - Camera bit the sand...View Full Version : Camera bit the sand... Business as usual May 9, 07, 12:35 am Anyone have any bright ideas on bringing a digital Lumix back to life after it spent several nights camping in the Sahara? It crunches now while focusing, and its digital innards are working sketchily as well. Ouch. ScottC May 9, 07, 5:52 am Besides taking it apart and blowing all the sand out of it? Nope. cpx May 9, 07, 5:55 am Besides taking it apart and blowing all the sand out of it? Nope. i'd second this suggestion. and use a can of compressed air. bdjohns1 May 9, 07, 8:10 am Just make sure you keep the can of air level or aimed upwards - if you tip the can on its side and spray, you'll get liquid out, and the residues can be bad for certain parts of the camera. jason8612 May 13, 07, 5:24 pm Just make sure you keep the can of air level or aimed upwards - if you tip the can on its side and spray, you'll get liquid out, and the residues can be bad for certain parts of the camera. yup.
