Review on Polaroid Water-resistant Housing for Point & Shoot Cameras with Lens by Tim Rushing

A little awkward to open and close but works as it should. There are no instructions on how to open the case. Switch tabs to open and just slide them apart. He's a little stubborn, so just be persistent, rock him a little. As other reviewers have noted, you may not be able to access all features depending on the camera. Most cameras require you to select certain settings before proceeding with them. So keep that in mind. The back of the camera can be mounted flush with the back of the housing using the supplied foam wedges. The side buttons cannot be used unless pressed against the soft plastic of the box. Or switch buttons like most zooms on compact digital cameras. If you need to move them, you can't use them. I have a Cybershot so I had to select video or picture mode before putting it in the box. Other cameras must be activated prior to installation. This can be a problem if you're not shooting all the time, as most cameras turn off automatically when you're not shooting. Simply order your case well in advance of how you intend to use it so you know what's available. I would recommend using video mode underwater just because the fish are moving fast and the photos are just blurry, especially with Cybershot! You should also be aware that many cameras won't let you use a flash, as glare will ruin your shot. Most likely, you won't be able to see your screen, so you'll have to wait for dry land to appear to view your photos. Point out what you want to achieve and hope your goal is good. The pressure underwater, even at a depth of 4 feet, causes the housing to stick to your camera like glue. It's like a bag that sticks to your camera. Water does not penetrate. Bone dry, don't worry. But for your peace of mind, do a vigorous water test before use.
