Asking for your kind assistance.

I was in a small town outside of Bogota with my grandchildren and it was raining.

Was shooting them running and playing as Christmas lights reflected on the cobblestones.

Camera got a few drops of rain on it, only a few.

When I went to review photos later that night, I had massive verticals lines in play back mode, that moved when I touched them as it is a "touch screen" but, I could barely see photos. When transferred to IPad, photos are fine. It seems to be a problem with the LCD.

Can anyone advise me about this problem or perhaps have experienced this and what did you do about it??

I thank you all ahead of time for your kind advice,

Is this a "send it back" situation??

Let it dry for a while then try again. If persisting problem it is indeed a 'send back'.

Maybe you got more than a few drops of water on it. But water inside it. It is not a good to use any camera in the rain, unless it is weather sealed. And weather sealed doesn't mean it is water proof. You probably got moisture inside the camera that affected the circuitry. You may need several days for it to dry out. A uhh member dropped his Canon SX50 Bridge Camera in a river. It was dead out of the water, but came to life after a week. Good luck.

Don't forget to remove the Battery and SD card before the dry out period.

Pull the battery and card out of the camera. Place the camera in a nylon stocking. Place that into a large bag of uncooked rice. Leave it there for a few days. Afterwards, remove the stocking and camera, replace the card and battery. See if that fixed the issue. If not, then send it in for repair.

Hair dryer set on low directed into an open battery or chip bay may work a bit faster than rice. You just need to create an opening into the camera to help circulate the air.

I would suggest NOT using this method, as it could blow moisture further into the workings of the camera. Any air flow directed into a camera containing moisture can be more detrimental to the inner workings of the camera.
