EDM fluid is deliberately contaminated to conduct electricity. However a waterproof camera would not have any issues as they usually are contained in a isolated house. However since the electricity always takes the path of least resistance and the resistance inside the discharge path is near zero you could probably stick your hand in there as long as the edm piece and wire have a proper conduit running.

The dielectric (water) is not "deliberately contaminated". As a matter of fact, the more pure it is, the better things function. I regularly have water at 1 or 2 ppm TDS (below 3 microsiemen). And yes... I can put my hand in the work tank when the machine is cutting, and place my fingers within 1" or less of the cutting without feeling any electrical shock whatsoever.

Camera was outside the machine, not in the water. Also, there is no "electrified" water, as water is an excellent insulator when it is very pure.
