Seafrogs suggested me to insert the camera turned ON, as Barmaglot had told me before. They are going to send me anyway the on/off switch insert as a replacement

No problems with the zoom gear above water with the standard port, 16-50 lens with the a6000 swap kit. As to the on/off switch, my housing had 2 different on/off switch inserts. I tried them both and used the one that worked best with my camera and with the switch in the off position. Perhaps this is something new as my housing also has a dual o-ring on the housing.
Had my first dive today with the housing and found it a bit disappointing. The ON/OFF switch worked fine above water but wouldn't work at all once under. Thankfully the camera was turned on when the switch stopped working. I have found the small adapter for the on/off switch to easily fall out, even when the camera is sealed in the case. I got 76 shots on 2 dives and had maybe 8% remaining. I had the camera set for a 2 minute power saver.
