there are water "stickers" that will show, but it doesnt sound like you got much on it.
under the face of the slider, the components are pretty available to elements...so it could have very well got in there.
if you have ever cracked a phone, then you would know right away if water damaged or not...but maybe you got lucky and a drop or two got to some vital area, causing a short by connecting two or more beads....and *poof*, a short, shorted your camera...
the good news, it still boots, meaning no major short term damage.
for future reference, anytime your phone ever gets close to water where you are splashed or you "think" there is only a drop...remember, just because you see one roach...doesnt mean there is only one.
immediately take the battery out until you can be sure the water is dryed.
you can take your phone, the battery, and backing and one of those dry packing packets you get in dryed food, and then place them in a tub of rice, half buried, the packet on the top of the rice and the tub needs to be topped off and sealed.
leave it there for at least 1 day in a warm area, if not 2 days.
then it should be fine.
more important then the water, is the current...as the water creates bridges between the beads and puts more or less, or the wrong volume of current to components...shorting the.
and, in the end, you will still most likely end up with rust.
