CANON S90 and WP-DC35 no manual ?

[marmagi]

I just read that the WP-DC35 housing doesnt allow F stop or shutter speed control under MANUAL mode is this true? I CANT BELIEVE IT !!! its amazing how CANON can do this !!!!

how can CANON make this huge mistake !!!! else this camera will be great for underwater photography for its compact size and lens aperture

by the way why F stop and shutter speed cant be controlled? how are they set directly on the camera? there is no link with the WP-DC35 case? please explain me

please confirm me if its true

Not sure where you are reading that.

I just got the WP-DC35.
The housing provides direct access to the front ring to control aperture in M mode.
The rear ring controlling shutter speed is not accessible in the housing, but you get the same functionality by holding down the shortcut button and using the left or right arrow buttons.

A little less convenient (you will probably need two hands to change the shutter speed) but certainly accessible.

Thank you very much for your repply, this is great news

what I said I read it on a seller which sells the WP-DC35 strange

since you have the camera and use it with the WP-DC35 are you happy about it?

do you have a link where I can see the uw pics you have taken? are they good? are you happy with its use?

thanks

Hello,

CANON USA has told me in an email:

"The WP-DC35 underwater housing will allow you to change your shooting modes and all of the settings as well. Unfortunately, you will not be able to set the ring to control your settings like ISO, exposure level, and zoom control."

So there is no way to change uw the above settings? is it possible with the ikelite case?

In order to maker those changes you have to re-assign the front ring control to the function you wish to change, make the change and then assign the ring control back to your primary function. That is what I think. Not ideal but workable. Perhaps the FIX housing yet to be released will have a control for the rear dial.
