Storing the Housing

When the housing is going to be stored for a prolonged period it should
be soaked in a non-abrasive mild soap solution such as dish soap,
rinsed, and then thoroughly dried. Remove the back and port from the
housing. Remove the back and port o-rings, lightly lubricate them, and
then place them in a plastic ziploc or resealable plastic bag. Place the
plastic bag inside the housing for storage. Operate the push buttons

Photo Tips

-
The number one rule in underwater photography is to eliminate as much
water between the camera and subject as possible. Get as close as you
can to the subject, then use the zoom. If you are using flash for still
photos, subjects beyond 6 ft (1.8 m) will not have much color regardless
of strobe power.
-
Photograph in clear water; do not stir up the sand or silty bottom. If
backscatter becomes a problem in the environment you are
photographing, an external flash will help eliminate much of the
backscatter.
