Elf Powershot Camera

Wherever the action leads you, whether onto the beach or into the sea, your Canon PowerShot digital camera can come with you – when it's safe inside this Canon Underwater Case. Enjoy the fun and the freedom of being able to take any photo you want, whenever and wherever you want. The WP-DC29 Underwater Case has been specifically designed for the Canon PowerShot SD1200 IS Digital Camera and is waterproof down to the depth of 130 ft. (40m). This clear and durable polycarbonate case shields your digital camera as you explore your underwater surroundings. A tight O-ring main seal with safety lock, along with stainless steel and nickel-plated brass hardware, help to ensure protection from corrosion for years to come. A fluorite (FL) glass window gives your digital camera's high quality Canon lens the protection and clear view it needs to deliver crisp detail and vibrant color. A flash diffusion plate allows you to use your camera's internal flash. It would be useless to take pictures underwater if you didn't have the ability to capture the results you wanted. That's why the Canon Digital Underwater Housing gives you full control over your camera. It features a large, responsive shutter button, precision zoom lever, and durable controls to give you access to everything your Canon digital camera has to offer. This waterproof housing is even great above water for skiing, fishing, boating, and more.

Brand: Canon Model: WP-DC29 Dimensions: 3.40" h x 2.70" w x 5.00" l, .65 pounds For small underwater subjects, choose the Macro Mode. The first thing to master with wide-angle shots is keeping the water color blue. Panorama - First, select the Stitch Assist Mode on your PowerShot digital camera. Shoot a series of overlapping images. Follow instructions for maintenance tips to optimize housing performance

I went up to 80 feet underwater and took pictures and made movies. There was no fogging in the lens. I didn't use the diffusion plate it was sunny and bright underwater. The pictures came out good just as if you took them on land. The camera is great with the underwater setting. This is the second waterproof case I got. The first one is for an older camera like 6 years ago. I had issues with it like the fogging. This one didn't and I guess Canon found a way to eliminate that. Here are two tips that I want to share with you other than make sure your battery is fully charged. 1) Set the camera to Underwater setting before you go under. If you want to take a picture above the water, like if you went snorkeling and want to take a picture of the beach from the water, you can easily switch to Auto. Then when you go back underwater, switch back to Underwater (Program). 2) When you make a movie, try to be a motionless body, moving only the camera. I find that while kicking the fins, both at the surface (snorkeling) or underwater (scuba diving) moves the camera too much that the image stabilization doesn't really work well. The more still you are, the better it looks like those underwater films you see on TV. Easier to zoom in and out. The most important tip which I learned the hard way but quickly learned via the display after shooting. You MUST allow the camera to focus first before you shoot when it is in the case. Kinda hard when you see a fish or turtle underwater at the last second that you want to shoot before it swims away. That requires skill to allow a little planning. I also brought it with me when we went to the fair and it was raining outside, I popped the camera in the case and took some fun pictures in the rain. Gotta live a little and have fun. The buttons on the case is easy to use and everything the only thing that is the opposite is the Auto/Program/Movie switch. On the camera you, slide up for Auto and down for Movie. It is the opposite when it is in the case, you slide down for Auto and up for Movie, kinda hard to get it in Program. Just watch the display to see which setting it is on. 9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Good case for very decent camera By H. Schulze I have had several underwater digital Canons, including G7, S330. I got this SD1200 because wifey also wanted to take pictures while I was messing with my G7 and strobe. Messing, because the G7 camera didn't always take the picture on the first flash, and didn't always fire twice either. No one can use 6x zoom underwater, so the SD1200 with 3x has a shorter "nose" which means a reasonable sized lens cavity, and therefore the internal flash actually works. At 30-60 feet, make sure you are 2-3 feet from your subject, closer is better. In shallower water, depending on the visibility, maybe up to 10 feet. Make sure you have a dessicant pack from a bottle of vitamins, and don't leave the case in the sun at any time, and don't assemble in A/C room: no fog on lenses :) Another reason for the 1200 is the latest Digic IV, lower power, better software, better sensitivity, and who needs much more than 10 Mpix, it's wasted under water. Great cam for above water too, even night shots are good, but not as good as a DSLR. Make sure to try the underwater mode (not aquarium), a bit hard to find, but much better colors (less blue saturation). Having had a lot of mileage on my previous cases, I found the need to replace small pieces, but can't seem to get any from Canon, you have to buy a new shell. 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Easy to use. Great for the money. By James Case We purchased the Canon SD1200 IS camera and Canon WP-DC20 underwater housing for it to use for a dive vacation in Bonaire.
