I would like to know if it is possible to dive and take photos at the same time, like 5 meters under the water.

5 meters under the water might be too deep for the case to hold the seal. the best bet is to read manufactures suggestions on how deep can you go.

I can't see which waterproof case this refers to. I have 2 different kinds. The kind that's a sealed bag, I haven't gone diving with it but it sure looks like it would work. The other one I have is a lifeproof case that is rated to a certain depth for a certain amount of time by the manufacturer, off hand I think it is 6 feet for 1/2 hr, but you can look that up on their site easily.

As long as you can touch the screen (not wearing gloves) it will work. I text and surf the web all the time with the case on at the beach, at the pool and in the hot tub. I often dunk it in the water to show other people.

NO! I submerged mine in a coffee cup, with a paper towel inside for a test run. Paper towel came out wet.

The camera isn't waterproof. I think it's if you purchase one of those underwater cases.

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

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!

Manual says u can. I have not used it to dive but I happened to take it with me while swimming. It definitely works under water but I do not know how deep. You might wanna refer this to the dealer. Good luck and sorry I was not helpful.

It depends on how far under water you are talking about. You have to remember the deeper you go the the more the light levels change. This would change how the cards register in the camera meter. Less than 20' it's probably okay.

I have taken it swimming, and took photos under water - not for a long time and probably only two feet below the surface. If we could have held our breath longer and stopped laughing - the photos would have turned out better. It captured bubbles, expressions, and images in a deep, dark pond. And, it still works. Also us it a lot to take pictures when skiing. We always pack a second battery, just in case.

Yes. The lens did well under water. Unfortunately, the rest of the camera did not. It flooded the first time under water. Had to send it back. Amazon was great with the return though.

I wouldnt try. I couldnt get my camera to stay on it and ended up returning it. I doubt it would work better in the water

As far as I know you can Record as Long as your harddisk or card has enough space.I did an underwater shoot, about 1,5h as One shoot. I always keep it recording the whole dive.

I have not taken video with the camera let alone underwater. Sorry I did not have the answer you were looking for.

I am unable to take pictures at all under water. The photo quality out of water is great.

Yes you can still take pictures. Many cases I interfere with the flash by casting a shadow. The lifeproof case does not. The flash and camera work very well. I had a friend use it when snorkeling and it did a decent job. But personally I'd feel uncomfortable using it as an underwater camera even though I hear you can. Otherwise I use the camera all the time and it does a good job. No problems at all.

If not underwater, yes. But its a thick membrane, so touch functionality is not perfect. Will keep the phone dry though without question. To video underwater, start the cam, dive, then you have to come up again to stop it.

I used it at 40 feet (12 meters) and is OK. They say in manual/machine that you can go up to 30 meters. I have the old one (d10) and used at 24 meters even with maximum defined for 12 meters. So you can go further but do not use microphone (avoid recording audio on deeper dives ok? you will broke you mic, I did it. Still take pictures, but no sound if I record videos). It is simple, easy, cool. Just set it to underwater before starting your dive. If you keep it in automatic mode you can have some pictures not very clear, with a light blue image... if you set it to underwater, clear and great pictures. Very easy to use. Do some trials before diving, try it in a swimming pool... and enjoy! I used it at 40 feet (12 meters) and is OK. They say in manual/machine that you can go up to 30 meters.

In addition to the recreational diving limit, unless you have U/W camera lights, everything you shoot at depth will be monochrome and very dark. Even at relatively moderate depths, the water filters out much of the color spectrum, so there really isn't much need for the case to go any deeper.

I have an iPhone 5s and it takes very clear pictures above water but I have not taken it underwater. I assume that it would do just as well underwater.
