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

periodically

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 feet (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, a properly aimed strobe or external flash will help

eliminate much of the backscatter.
