    Default how to unfog camera lens?

    Last night my phone got wet but it still works.
    Unfortunately, the camera lens is foggy.

    Does anyone here have any experience with drying it out?

    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    That sucks. I've heard leaving it overnight in a paper bag filled with uncooked rice might help.

    hair drier blowing it directly on lense until you see the moisture evaporate away. works pretty good and faster than rice

    Do you mean after disassembling?

    no i don't think you'll need to. just blow the drier over the lens itself. should heat it enough to evaporate the moisture.

    edit: now this will depend on whether its like pretty good size droplets in there or just a layer of foggish like film over the lens glass. either way it will evaporate the moisture,but if its heavier than a film of moisture. it may take a little longer.

    Or you can leave it out in the sun for a bit, that'll do it.
