I assume the underwater case works well then? Always seemed risky to me, the thought of dipping a brand new camera in water.

With a case like that you could get such great pictures though!

Sorry my post was misleading, I don't have the waterproof case, but I am using the underwater white balance setting (rather then setting it manually) that was designed for shooting underwater pictures. I meant that the builtin underwater white balance setting is perfect for shooting my tank.

Yeah, and I would be nervous about dipping the camera in the tank too. :razz: It is black so needless to say my trigger would probably attack it as well. He hates anything black, dwarf angel, kent proscraper, and probably canon s80! :mrgreen:

Gotcha. Do you use a macro setting or just zoom?

Macro for the two close ups.

I have a water proof case for mine and use it whenever I dive. It is rated for 200' but I have only had it to 135'. At that depth the case was fine but the camera acted up under all that preasure.

What camera do you use snappy?

Holy crap! 135 feet!? I'm not a diver myself but isn't that a little deep?:razz:

That's one good stress test.
