This Sealife camera and hsinuog is sturdily built and easy to operate. Just take some time to read all the directions! In the hsinuog, the camera has two simple buttons on top; one for on/off and one to switch from photo mode to video mode. The Sealife 12 Megapixel 5X Optical Zoom and 3-Inch LCD screen Underwater/Land Camera is the brains of this operation, with an easy setup that allows you to set it to Underwater or Land. If Underwater, then choose Camera+Flash (for use with strobe) or Camera only. Then select Snorkeling or Diving. If Snorkeling, then select <25 feet or Diving select > 25 feet. You can also adjust the Diving strobe for External Flash Auto or Manual mode. There are also detail settings for green or blue water and at < or > 25 feet. These are your automatic white balance settings. The camera also has a unique `spy mode' where you can set the camera on a small tripod or steady surface and set the timer interval in order to capture that elusive sea creature. There is a function to record a subject onto an existing background image, combing shots of two people into a single image and a setting for a Panorama Mode! The latter uses a program called Arcsoft Panorama Maker 4.0 to allow you to stitch a panoramic photo together! The shutter button is meant to be pressed halfway until a green square appears, assuring you that the picture is in focus. Full shutter pressing takes the picture. The camera really is set up just like any other `point and shoot' camera, but within the hsinuog it has five large easy buttons (Play, Menu, Flash, Focus, Delete) that handle all the underwater functions you need. It is easy enough to do it without focusing too much on the buttons after a while you can easily work them on night dives. There is a function for color lens as well including nine settings (usually set to Standard, but the Sepia tone is handy as well as all the standard colors. I had fun setting it to sepia while night diving with nurse sharks).
