Yes, I see... Actually should have seen the video first

But the argument stays:
- Shutter would not work in oil ("error99" would surely come up)
- Flip mirror would not work in oil (maybe this is also monitored by camera firmware)

And, if it does not work.. there is no (low cost) way to clean the camera and have it operational again..

EDIT:
You would have to have the window for light... and as I said in previous post, the oil must be very transparent.
If you do not want any other mod, you will have 44mm of oil between window and sensor.. a lot of (unknown ) filtering..
