Does the case allow for use of the camera underwater?

Yes but it would be best to go in the camera settings and change the volume button to operate the camera button.Being underwater won't allow you to tap the screen because of how the touchscreens operate.Everything works perfectly and it takes perfect photos as if the case weren't even there.

The case as ive used it is sealed and waterproof. That said I would only use it under water for a meter or two. Anymore and the pressure may affect the case. You have to test the case first to ensure there is no seepage. Still the best all weather case I have used.

According to seidio all functions will operate on your phone with their case. Not sure of depths and how long water proof. Call them. The company is very accommodating and will answer your questions. I don't believe it's ment to be used for long dives but I could be completely wrong about this. Good luck!

Well it's waterproof I tested it but you may want to read up on the depths. It's a great case.

Yes. Camera must be turned on out of the water as the touch screen doesn't work underwater. Also you have to change the settings on your camera to use the volume buttons to take pictures. Would not recommend using this case for taking pictures while scuba diving(not rated for more than 6 feet deep) but for pics at the pool or beach(shallow water) it is perfect. Have had the case since July with no issues, I highly recommend it!

Yes, but you have to activate the camera before submerge the phone underwater. I boughted this case for my vacation in last august and at this time I'm still using the case, due to you don't have to worry of your phone get wet Anymore. Recomended

Yes and even had a built in speaker for audio playback. It does not have the capability to connect an external microphone so audio will sound muffled when used with the waterproof case.

No. The grip is meant for preventing minor damage from dings and dents. It will not help protect the camera from water.

Takes flawless pics while in the case, underwater too. I also got video with sound underwater while in the case.

No, this has an open hole for the camera and a Velcro closing tongue. I would suggest a tough/waterproof camera over a waterproof pouch.However, the pouch is small enough to fit in a sandwich ziplock bag

Yes you can take pictures while it's in the case. There are openings for access to all the inputs/outputs and camera.

Yes but I woukd spend the extra money and get an external filter so you can take it off without opening the case. We use it for diving and cant take pictures when on the surface or in shallow water.

The plastic case is the water proof protection. You need to grease the o ring before each use to help it seal. Camera is ok for a beginner and will take pictures and video underwater with no problem down to depths of 50 feet. Anything deeper starts to have color fade due to light issues. This depends on clarity of water you are in also. Have used this camera for one year with no issues.

I love the camera but I have had three and they all have leaked after about a year. With the case I think I can get more time out of the underwater camera. Yes, it will work underwater without the case.. I snorkel once a month. If you snorkel once a year on a vacation it should be fine. It takes beautiful pictures and movies with the case. I am happy with the case. I hope this helps.

Yes yes yes!! Its great but make sure you test the case before putting your phone in it. I bought it to take photos with underwater but the water pressure makes it difficult to touch the screen underwater.
747744
Yes. That's what I bought it for. It's a little snug, but the case closes and the camera is not squished.

You know Im not sure to be honest. I do know for sure. What I do know that by the design if you out it in water with the case on its not sealed enough to stop the water from in between the case and the phone. I just took off the case entirely when I wanted to take underwater pics

I don't recomend you to take pictures underwater cause the membrane is really delicated, even when you try to use the touch screem its really hard and difficult.It's better if you only use this case under rain.Good luck with your case.!!

Yes there is, when you buy the camera, in the manual it has the underwater housing that is made to its measurements.

As the case itself, no. It is set up to allow your camera strap to pass through. It has a snap on one side to keep the case with the strap

The camera has an underwater setting, but you must have the underwater case which can be purchased seperately for $150-$200.

Same issue here. It works if the case isn't in water but doesn't when you submerge it. When I went snorkeling with it, I just started recording before I went in the water with the case.
