I am having hell getting my camera to pop out of the casing so I can charge the battery. I turn the key on the casing, the camera pops out but it won’t come out far enough to remove it. I push it to lock it back in and turn the key again and it still will not pop out far enough. I could probably take a sharp object and force it out but I don’t want to do that until I ask here. Once I get it out any tips on how to get it to pop out easy?

Yes... the O-ring is prob dry and making it stick.

Best answer is to put a small amount of silicon grease on the o-ring

( don't use a petroleum based grease )

Second is to find something else to lube the o-ring...

( in a pinch, I used olive oil which worked for a while , just wipe it down not dripping )

When the camera is out , make sure the inside of shell is clean, wipe out with rag.

Great, thank you so much for your advice! I’m in a pinch, so olive oil to the rescue! Will come back and update when I have to remove them again. Have a wonderful day!
