Hi,

I just got an old used NX1000 for $50, and I also have a 16mm/f2.4 I'm not using much, and I though maybe i could make this combo permanently waterproof instead of buying an action camera

Looking for tips/methods on how to make the NX1000 body waterproof without adding too much bulk. I don't care about how it looks like, or the fact the i will not be able to replace the lens anymore. I was thinking of applying silicon sealant generously on most of the exterior (with a thinner layer over the buttons on the back, so i'll still be able to press them), but i'm still trying to figure out what am i going to do with the mode dial and on/off button.

Welcoming any suggestions,

Thanks
