Questions for a Canon S50

Some more information. In the very nice Canon Digital Camera UW-Photography Guide there is shown a WP-DC300 with what looks like INON Lenses.

There are also some picttures made by a S30 and a S40 with unnamed Macro and WA Lenses in their Picture Gallery.

I think I'll try the Inons on my next Trip.

Just hold down the manual focus button in a menu and use the right and left navigator buttons to move up and down.

 

 

The using of the manual focus is good to navigate in the menus only. You cannot use it in other situations, e.g. in manual mode you cannot change the shutter speed since it controlled by the up/down options.

(It can be solved by moving to Tv option set the shutter speed and then return to manual)

 

 

 

Not correct. You can control everything just like without using the waterproof case but only valid for S45/S50. You cannot change the APERTURE in Manual mode with waterproof case if the model is S40S30.

It is correct of course, to change in the S30/40 the F number: move to Av, set the F number & then return to manual mode.

Thanks Simon. Looks a little intimidating to me. Well, my trip is 2 weeks away and I still haven't made a decision (got distracted with my other hobby - sailing). I may be going strobless.

Has anyone else had any issues with condensation build-up with this setup? In cold water, I have 20-30 minutes before my case is entirely fogged up.

Also, can someone recommend a good site to get a good deal on the Epoque strobe so folks mentioned earlier?

Many thanks,

Dave

Hi,

Yes the Fogging is a common Problem. Here some Tips:

1) Use Anti fogging liquid (One Drop, Polish with lens cleaning paper) bevore every Dive or at least every Day.

2) Put one or two packs Silicia Gel into the housing

3) Close the housing at a dry place

Simon
