white water and paddle sports, sailing and boating, surfing, fishing and hunting,
backpacking and camping, and for family activities around the swimming pool or
at the beach. The CP-3 will protect the Coolpix camera from water, sand, dust,
and other damaging elements.
General Camera Description:

quality and consumer value. For specific features of each camera you should

Pulling the latch toward the rear of the housing will unclip the latching buckle and allow it to swing free, for opening.

Grease or any other form of lubrication does not help seal the housing. It only reduces friction, which is commonly present if the housing has an O-ring seal.
