Can I use this camera in the pool?-chlorine

Yes, I've used this camera in sea water, fresh water, and even chlorinated/pool water and this camera works perfectly.

Yes no problem just wash it with fresh water after use and let dry before opening.
1164417
Yes. Over time the chlorine could have some negative impact, but none I have seen.

You should be able to go to 18 meters. However, at 10 meters the camera started to fail, and once above water I found water droplets inside the battery/sim card compartment. I would not plan on using this camera for anything more than in the rain, on a kayak or water sport with a floatie attached, and at the most snorkeling, so no more than 1 meter. It's not worth the risk to ruin the camera

Absolutely. We used it for that purpose. We never saw any sign that any water leaked into the camera. Read the description for the max depths per Nikon.

It is not recommended...we tried years ago and found the chlorine we bought dissolved much quicker. Our pool had algae for the first time during the season.

Absolutelly! You can submerge it to 10m, enough for a pool or white sand beach. You can open and close the lens lid without any problem, use flash underwater, etc. Just two things, NEVER EVER open the door where the battery and microsd reside, because you will screw the camera. And after use it underwater you have to clean the camera in the sink so you can clean it from chlorine from the pool or sand from the beach. One last thing, be careful to use it on the beach so the sand won't scratch the lens area (the lid and underneath) and the screen.

YES - It can shoot under water when used inside the included underwater housing. You can't just toss the camera itself into water unprotected, but the clear plastic casing that comes with it is waterproof.

Yes you can take pictures under water as well as video i use the video a lot when i deep sea dive i love it make sure to get the floating wrist strap so you dont drop your camera to the bottom of the sea i

I haven't had any issues with chlorine, but I've only been in the pool half a dozen times. I hope this helps you somewhat. I do like the suit.

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 do not see why not. If you used it in a regular pool you are dealing with chlorine. Just make sure you rinse the submarine after use. Have fun!

I tested the floating strap in fresh water (a bucket) with an Olympus Stylus Tough 8000 camera. It floated just fine. At least one of the reviews said it floated in a swimming pool. The flotation is not super strong, so I imagine a strong current (like you would find in white water) could pull it under for some period of time. Not sure how it performs with other cameras, but it worked great when I took it to the Virgin Islands recently.

I have the Canon D20 and Yes you can use it in salt water! As a matter of fact Very Salty water. We got it to use in St. Thomas to film the sea turtles and Rainbow Parrot fish and the water down in the Caribbean very salty but very clear. You will love the camera!! It takes great pix! I'd recommend getting a floatation device for it tho, if its dropped it sinks immediately! I got one and love it ($25 for a kit with extra battery, float, charger, & tripod!! Amazon Rocks!)

Panasonic says it can be used in salt water, but we used ours only one time underwater, snorkeling at about 6 to 8 feet (and rinsed it afterwards), and within a few weeks the battery ground connector was so badly corroded the camera no longer would turn on. Trying to contact Panasonic support now, but their automated "help" system is a joke.

I don't see why not as long as the camera has two connection sites. Would not work with disposable camera as there is no snap in connection just a rubber band loop. Item is made from webbing and plastic so no problem with the water. Never tried it that way but food for thought in the future.

I prob wouldn't recommend it. There are cameras designed for outdoor use that are sealed properly from moisture and other potential damage.

We used it in a kid's swimming pool and it was fine. But the part of the pole where you hold it houses the batteries and it probably wouldn't work if you got it wet.
