open your camera app just before you dive under as touchscreen functions work perfectly fine when the screen is only wet with water drops ( splash, rain, snow, etc.) Then use the cool manual shutter release button built in to take photos or start and stop vidéo when completely submerged. The button is put on a grip shape at the bottom of the case that feels like you are holding and using a standard DSLR 35mm equivalent camera. To me it feels almost identical to my Canon 7D's, very comfortable and natural in the hand.
##note## this case is designed for Samsung and Apple phones with the volume keys on the LEFT SIDE as you are looking at the screen. Most the phones are made this way but a few are not. If your volume keys are on the right side the manual shutter release function will NOT work. Power button can be on either side that doesn't matter. ##
The glass the camera looks through transmits light without any noticeable loss according to my light meters. Really nice!!
The case is rated to 15meters. If you are diving deeper than that than you should have a regular dive housing for a regular camera as your phone camera just isn't cut out for serious deep water photography, NO MATTER WHAT CASE YOU USE FOR IT! This case like your phone is designed for the casual recreational diver/ snorkelers who want cool pics of their adventure without breaking the bank or having to tote along bulky expensive camera gear, who are swimming mostly near the surface where there is good light anyway.
This case is also awesome for any outdoor adventure where you have your phone as your primary GPS unit as you have a large window for viewing your screen and maps. The case does not impede satellite acquisition at all and you have full functionality of your phone to send texts make phone calls as you can hear and speak just fine through the case, all dust and waterproof !! Oh yeah, and you can take a geo tagged photo as well !! No more need for a separate GPS unit just because they are waterproof !! Read Less
