S90 Ike housing shooting trigger

[spencerjb22]

Hello,


Anyone else find the firing trigger on the right to easy to over press and skip the half press focus? I try and pull the trigger gently, however it seems to skip the focus and instantly shoot. There seems to be no margin for any error in trying to focus....anyone else had issues?

The problem, and I am sure I will be jumped on, is that the Ikelite provided lever arm is too short. You need to make it longer by whatever means you can come up with, this will decrease the sensitivity and provide more range of movement to "feel" the half press.

Cheers mate, I'm not impressed with the housing tbh, I think the design is not hugely user friendly. It feels solid and good build quality, but can see it being a right faff to use underwater...hope i'm proved wrong this wknd.:depressed:

this mostly is due to S90 shuttle button itself.
compare to G series, S90 shuttle button require less travel distance,
and the half press feeling is not that obvious compare to G series too.
Think you just need some time to get used to it.
btw, ikelite design is better than canon housing where it could jam/stuck easily.

Yes, the shutter button is disaster, but i got used to it and now i'm shooting with dry gloves with only slight problems.
