General Tips Photo Tips 1. Due to the power required to operate the camera, flash, and LCD screen it is a good idea to start each dive with a fresh set of batteries. 2. Some cameras reset their flash to AUTO when the camera is turned on. If you prefer another setting be sure to select it. 3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the housing to see that it is properly sealed. 4. Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the lens port.
