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

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 feet (1.8m) 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.
