I own a A520 camera, with an original diving housing. It functions well, but lately the lens cover lids (doors) do not fully open. Same problen I had with my previous A520 (had to buy another one because seawater leaked into the housing and ruined it). Therefore I have to dive with the camera lens already open, not sutting it off during the dive.

Is there a way to overcome this problem?? :oops:

Please help me... :cry:

I just had the same issue!

My camera has been fully restored by longhairchris's suggestion. Try the graphite shavings dry lube solution! Maybe even some talcum powder if you have that around.

Good luck!
