Hello ,
I have an Intova IC 12 for more than a year and I'm happy with it as it provides me with the pics I need at a cheap price , also I'm happy with Joe's and Kevin's support.
However , last week I went diving and I noticed the camera was not working well , most of the buttons were not working while diving. I checked the housing and I found a small drop of water inside the housing at the shutter bottom area . The good thing is that after leaving the camera to dry after the dive , all functions were restored. I tried to dive with it again and I found droplets of water for the second time too, causing the camera to hang.
I checked the O-rings etc.... and everything seems in tact without wear signs . I'm suspecting that the shutter button on the housing is leaking for some reason.
Please note that I take good care of the camera and the housing , I rinse it with fresh water after each dive and I store it with the housing opened . Also I apply silicon grease on the O-rings , but not on the buttons that I can't reach.
Could anyone (if possible from Intova) advise what might be the problem and how to solve it?
Thanks
