Hello to all users of this camera. I just purchased the Oly 5050 in the PT-015 housing yesterday by fluke. Walked into local camera store to purchase P&S for my mother for xmas and found them selling a good cond., used cam and housing for $150 so i figured it was a good deal as i've heard good things about the camera even though it's about 7 years old now. A few questions from this newbie to this system.
1/The black, rubber seal in the front port has come off and i can't seem to get it back in with a proper seal in the front. Any tips to get this back in?
2/The housing came with 2 sets of dual o-rings. One set is the large, oval shaped variety which are obviously for the main back hatch but there is also a set of 4 small, circular o-rings about 3in diameter. What the heck are these for?
3/Any suggestions for accessories? I would like to add a strobe and WA lens but don't want to spend crazy amounts. Will look for used ones but would like some recommendations for strobes/lenses that have worked well for others.
4/Any tips/tricks in general? Seems every camera has little things you find after playing around and experimenting that greatly improves use. I'm looking for go-to settings for WA photos, macro, filters,etc.,etc.....
Looking forward to getting this system wet soon, thanks!
