Hello all,
I just purchased a DX1400 and sea dragon flash. I noticed in the flash instructions they tell you to apply the silicone grease to the O-rings. However the Camera housing it just says to "wet" the O-ring. I'm a little nervous about using this for the first time, Should I remove and clean the housing O-ring like they suggest and just close it up? Wetting it sounds a little strange to me, I'm surprised they don't recommend greasing it.
Am I overthinking this? Should I just close it up and use it? Much thanks in advance.

Hi Gang,
Okay, let me rephrase the question.
Before I use this camera for the first time, I am going to remove the O-ring as per the instructions and clean it and reinstall it. Is there anything else I should do before I close it? Grease or wet the O-ring? Much thanks in advance.
