By using the phone you're putting electricity through it while it's possibly still damp which is gonna fry things.
Best thing you can do is let it dry for a few days with the battery out.
Was it clean water you dropped it in?

Try using a different camera app, if all else fails contact Samsung or do a Factory Reset.
 
Camera failure is a common result of water exposure. They are acheap ($4-$5 on ebay), and pretty easy to replace.

I replace them all the time in phones that had a dunk, were saved, and show no other effects, except that the cameras don't work.
