Hi everyone,
I am new at U/W photography. I have a DC 800 with Pro Strobe. I have had the camera for a couple of years but it has not seen much "action". That said, the actual camera in the sealife housing is a replacement and just over a year old (the original camera was stolen). What use the housing/camera has had has been mostly in saltwater. I always rinse the unit in freah water after every dive and store it in the carrying case.
I was diving recently in a freshwater spring at about 65 ft and had a problem pushing the shutter button and the zoom buttons but nothing happened. Earlier in the dive in shallower water I didn't have any problem. Is this a depth/pressure problem? I thought this camera housng was rated much deeper than 65 ft.
Any thoughts?
