I have contacted the company and they say to send it to Ohio for repairs. I need to see what the repairs may cost, maybe it is time for a new camera.

I take mine out on the boat everytime I go. What I use is a zip-lock baggie, with a couple of the silica packs at the bottom to adsorb moisture. Works well on the beach too. Just be sure to ZIP it after taking the photos!!
Another thing to take in consideration....What is the camera body made from? You know how corrosive saltwater can be, even spray will rust the hell of something....just once is all it takes for some cams.
I think I have an advantage with my camera. made from Magneisum (Nikon) instead of cheap metal. Something to consider if your gonna be around a lot of water!! But, I AM careful too.
