Underwater Pictures? Does anyone have any idea as to how this camera does underwater?

I've used it with a housing and am pleased to tell you that the quality of my photos are amazing. Near macro shots come out crisp, however, any long distance, panoramic attempts will not be satisfactory, not enough light from the on board flash. I've taken some video of clownfish, and find my self going baack to it over and over again.The housing buttons are easy to master and work well. It is quite sturdy and has held up well. I have to admit, I am still surprised how well the small self contained flash works, very little back scatter and deep color saturation.

Hi. Unfortunately I have not use the camera in water. I use the camera to tape my taekoando classes. Soory. But I believe that the manual tells you how deep it can go. Hope this help.

Hi Lisa, I took pictures at an indoor water park. The pictures came out okay. I just scrapbook the pictures, I don't typically blow them up to 5x7 or 8x10. So, for my use the pictures are fine. The fast movements were a little blurry. I have not taken any underwater pictures yet. I took the camera outside for our school snow days. Those pictures in the sunlight were bright and colorful. The fast movements came out okay. I have a few inside pictures during the day and they look pretty good. I have one picture taken at night in my bedroom. My navy blue shirt looks great, but my face is a little orange/yellow and the bedroom in the background is not crisp at all. I think the lighting is responsible for that. I have a few movies on the camera, but can't play them. They are MOV. I tried Quicktime, movie maker, media player. I'll have to play around with it. I hope I don't have to convert these. So, at the moment I can't give you any information on the movies. I wanted the camera to take out to the pool and so far it seems like it will work great for our use. Please let me know if I can help with any else. I'm not sure what you mean by artifacts. I don't think graininess is an issue, but I'm just a mom taking pictures of kids and my photography knowledge is limited.

I bought it for a trip and yes I took it snorkeling and we had no issues. It's a cheap camera so you get what you pay for in quality. If I tried to take an out of water picture I had a lot more issues with dots of water or smudges or blurry spots but for the most part every picture I took under water was good. Hope that helps.

I have used the camera in it's underwater case. The video is fine as long as you don't go so deep that it gets dark. The video playback is excellent. I have two of these cameras and am very pleased.

They say the camera can go underwater up to 9.8 feet. i haven't had mine in water but I've had problems with the flash not working under dim light conditions. I think the camera is cheap with a poor operating program.Spend a little more money and get a better camera. I do not recommend it.

It shots movies quite well.You would need to purchase Sony's waterproof case to use this camera underwater.Of course there is a warranty.

I did not use it under the water yet. It felt into the water few times when I climbed on the water falls in Jamaica and went to paddle board. This is not a touch screen camera.

I believe that the camera can be used under water, BUT it has to be in a waterproof case. I am not sure how this "feature" makes it different from any other camera, but that is my understanding

Not used it underwater . It works efficiently during rain storms, just make sure to set focus and pull it tight up to the lens to prevent distortion

Yes, it works great for taking pictures underwater. It's a bit of a pain to put it together (bring a quarter with you for the screw) but I felt for the price it was worth it rather than having to buy a separate underwater camera. You can check out the underwater pictures that I took with it:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.4610894505961.1073741825.1100453072&type;=1&l;=3f01417080

Not well. The camera seems to be ideal for bright environments. I tried to capture some low-light under-water scenes and the camera recorded just black.

honestly? It was more trouble than it was worth. The camera would heat the inside with it'simple photo use and fog up the INSIDE lens. It's difficult to make the camera fit well and then to handle the camera in the water on top of this I wish I had purchased an inexpensive underwater camera. MY DiCap is going up for sale on ebay...interested?

if you set the under water mode it should work better then when i used it.. i forgot to set it for underwater mode! lol but i was 15 foot under water and it didnt mess up or anything. i just wasnt able to take to many pictures because i didnt have the mode set! plus i was trying to take pictures and a video prob would have worked better ( i was filming fish!)

We hav only used it in the pool but am unaware of a depth limit? It takes excellent underwater video for sure! We love it!
