Water vapor inside camera

Recently I've been using Z1 near water and it has been exposed to water and high humidity, in a nut shell, I left it inside the bathroom while I was taking a shower.

And of course, the ports are closed, afterwards I noticed water vapor inside the back and front camera, it is behind the glass, at the moment I cannot take any proper pictures with the phone, the phone still works though, files plays, apps works, but I am heavily concerned if my Z1 has a leakage for the water to enter the phone.

Should I ignore the fact that water is getting inside camera? What are some possiblities that water is getting inside phone or through the glass when the ports are closed?

What i will suggest you to do now, as in immediately. Off the phone and put it into the rice bin for a day or two for the moisture get out of the phone and dry internally.

You may also want to check the water indicator for any sign if water gets into the phone. IF turn red means the port may be close but is loosen or somewhat that cause the water to seep in.

Do take note for sudden temperature change may cause the lens to fog up as well, that not only happen to phone. But is does happen to my water resist watch too.
