Case Maintenance Question

Post by dwashbur »

We had a little trouble off and on yesterday with our Canon camera, because a couple of the buttons on the waterproof case were tending to stick. The case is the Canon WP-DC8, by the way. Anyway, I gave it a good soak in fresh water after we got home yesterday evening and they seem to be doing better. But I'm wondering if there's something in the way of a lubricant that's safe for the materials (and the water/fish) that I can put on them to loosen them up a little more. Anybody know?

It never fails; the answer is always simpler than you think it is. Thanks, all!

Diving. . . is an active physical form of meditation. It is so silent- You're like a thought.

SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. NOT REALLY GOOD FOR
ANYTHING, BUT THEY BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN PUSHED DOWN THE
STAIRS.
