Take a few test shots: it is recommended to
turn the camera "on" and program to "Flash
Always" mode before inserting into housing
and then take test shots to make sure all
systems are working.

Notes:
Checking the Gasket:
Prior to each closure of the housing the gasket seal should be
visually inspected. If there is any debris present, including dirt,
sand, dust, hair, grease or other matter, it must be cleaned to
insure a proper watertight seal.
Underwater photographers will probably want to set the flash
mode to the flash always setting to insure they always have a
flash with every exposure. It is also wise to set the focus mode
to allow the lens to focus in the macro range for capturing great
images of the tiny and exotic subjects that you can find
underwater.
Cleaning the gasket is a simple matter of wiping it with a damp,
soft cloth to remove the foreign matter. Be careful the cloth
you use does not leave any of its own material behind as this
can also affect the effectiveness of the gasket.

2. It is not necessary to remove the gasket for cleaning unless
visual inspection determines that there is foreign matter
underneath the gasket as well. If this occurs, be sure the
surface of the housing is also clean and wiped free of any
debris.
