I was taking photos on the beach when a big wave struck a rock and sal water soaked me and all my camera gear, luckily nothing got damaged, after I came home I cleaned my camera with alcohol, I didn't think water got into the flash, so I didn't clean on there, but it did and rusted one of the screws... i need a replacement screw, but can't find one anywhere.
Solved! Go to Solution.

Recommendation to clean and paint is best. However, if you really want to get a Canon replacement screw you can go to uscamera.com and download a PDF of the parts manual. It will have the part number that you can then order from Canon.

Since the EOS 80D isn't weather sealed, there is risk that other elements of the camera have also become damaged; especially so with salt water. I would recommend scheduling a service to have Canon give it a complete checkup.

Does the flash function? Does everything else about the camera work okay? If the screw appearance is your only problem, just clean it and be happy.

yeah the flash works great, and I use an external flash so I'm not really going to use the internal flash that much, but still i with every thing on my camera to be perfect

You ruined your wish to be perfect when you let it get soaked in salt water.
Clean the screw and repaint it.
