Very pleased with the results. You can see the pick of them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/5032949...7600175451701/ The first 6 pics were taken with my old Canon IXUS 300, the rest with the Fuji. All pics taken with natural light, in 'Underwater' mode and no post processing. Max depth on the dive was 9.5m. |

Do you know if there is a way to hook up an external flash to the underwater case? Adam |

I don't know a lot about flash units, but I believe they have a photosensor that detects when the built in flash has gone off and fires the slave unit. I don't have one myself, so can't tell you much more. |

Loads available, commercial units from a number of manufacturers (inc Fuji - search their website). See also www.camerasunderwater.co.uk , and be prepared to shell out a min of around £150. As ever, if you're prepared to put a bit of work into it you can save a bundle by making your own unit at home. No electronics required - just assemble bits and bobs from a few sources using nothing more than a screwdriver / spanner and some cable ties. Ken |
