Procedure

The O-ring can be extracted using an O-ring extractor tool (make sure the tool as no sharp edges). Alternatively use the flats of the thumbs to gently stretch the O-ring on two faces thus making a small loop protruding a few mm. The loop can then be grasped between finger and thumb, to pull the O-ring over the lip. Clean the O-ring recess (the square groove where the O-ring sits) with a cotton bud.

Inspect the O-ring all the way round its surface for damage such as cutstears or contamination. This should be done visually and also by feeling the surface texture between finger and thumb.

IF THE O-RING IS DAMAGED OR SUSPECTED OF

BEING DAMAGED, DISCARD IT IMMEDIATELY.

A spare O-ring is supplied with your housing, or a replacement O-ring can be ordered from 10BAR. If the O-ring is contaminated or suspected of being contaminated, clean it with an optical cleansing cloth that is free of loose fabric or contamination. After cleaning inspect the O-ring again.

Once the O-ring has been inspected and verified fit for use, apply a small amount of silicone grease to the O-ring. The silicone grease must be evenly distributed round the

O-ring. Install the O-ring into the groove; run a finger round the O-ring, to make sure it is snugly

seated in the groove.

First released in 2011, it resides within Panasonic's Lumix line, celebrated for its practicality, especially among photography enthusiasts seeking a high-quality compact option.

At the heart of the LX5 is its 10.1-megapixel CCD sensor, which excels in low-light conditions, delivering impressive image quality. This size and technology ensure that the camera can capture vibrant details even in challenging lighting scenarios. The camera also incorporates the Venus Engine FHD, which enhances image processing speed and quality, providing cleaner images with minimal noise and excellent color fidelity.

One of the standout features of the LX5 is its fast Leica DC Vario-Summicron lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.0.

The LX5 also includes a built-in optical viewfinder, giving photographers a more traditional shooting option that many users still prefer, especially in bright conditions.

For enthusiasts looking to take full control, the LX5 boasts an array of manual settings including aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. This versatility allows experienced users to experiment with various shooting techniques, while automatic modes are readily available for those who prefer a more hands-off approach.

The Panasonic LX5 also supports full HD video recording at 1080p, making it a dual-purpose tool for both photography and videography. Additional features include various scene modes and creative filters, enabling users to express their artistic vision directly through the camera.

In terms of connectivity, the LX5 can easily transfer images via USB, and while it lacks built-in Wi-Fi, users can connect to their devices through memory card access.
