My camera has been driving me absolutley nuts over the last few months, as the Lever to turn it on and off is sometimes so stiff, I have the feeling it will break off before I get to turn my camera on or off.
Anyway I was always too scared to lubricate it as was scared to ruin the electrical contacts or something.
Today I got desperate and oiled it, then thought I should have asked here first rather than afterwards.
I used a Universal silicon light glide oil.
Works like a dream, but was it the right thing to do?
is it the right oil?

| Too late now! If it works, then it was the right thing to do. Otherwise... |

It should be fine. Sounds like the right oil.
I wonder why the lever would tighten up that much? Rust? |

on my d60 sometimes the buttons, switches and dials get stiff. I use compressed air for electronic equipment to blow them out and the brush end of a lens pen. Does the trick every time.
Maybe you should have done that, oh well, but as long as you used a very small amount none should leak inside. Only problem is the oil can attract dirt and dust making it harder to blow out.
