Well, as I mentioned, I decided we needed a new camera, so I purchased the Olympus 790, I had noticed
that many of you on the forum use this camera.

So my ??? is do you's use the floating strap while snorkeling & what about the silicone cover??? The strap I think is a given, wouldn't want Larry to lose it while snorkeling.

Any other pointers for using it??? I am not a techis person & already has some wierd meter thingy on the screen Laughing

Hi Ruth:

I have one and I just set the scene setting to underwater and point and shoot!! I've been happy with the pics I have gotten so far.

Definitely use the floating strap. Worthwhile ins. policy against it sinking to the bottom.

I second the underwater settings. The macro underwater setting is really good for less than about 5' away.

Not underwater related, but use the candle light mode for taking night shots. I used it at Christmas time to take some pictures of lights and it was the perfect mode. Fast shutter speed and virtually no motion blur.
