just did something stupid...

I was cleaning the housing of my 5050 and moved the rubber that is in the part that they lens opens to and now I can't get it back in....does this have anything to do with the seal?

 

[alcina]

I don't think so...

 

[justleesa]

grrr...got it almost back in...just one "hair" standing up. I'm sure it will be in the way..don't you just hate it? grrrrr

I just checked mine and I would also say that it probably has nothing to do with the seal. It does look like it might have something to do with the seating of the camera in the case though. I'd put the camera in and make sure that it's not loose as a result. Better yet I'd try very hard to get the rubber back in correctly!
Maybe the case is just protesting because your affections have gone somewhere else?

Thanks for checking Kim I'm trying really hard...just missing about 2 mm...where the rubber puckers.pushing and pulling to no avail....sigh

UW my heart is true to my oly:10:

Maybe a VERY small amount of silicone would help?

 

[justleesa]

to make it slide in better?

 

[Kim]

That's my thinking, yes. Really not too much though or it might get places it shouldn't be!

 

[Gilligan]

It's not part of the seal.

If you can't get it seated properly you may have to take the lens port apart from the exterior of the housing.

If you need directions I have them here for the PT-010 housing which I am sure is similar.

ok, trying that...and if I don't get it in perfectly (I'm going diving in an hour)...will it be a problem?
