There’s a different and vibrant world beneath the ocean surface. It is a world where we are treated to the diversity of marine creatures and the beauty of structures such as corals and rock formations. Not everyone gets to see this first-hand. However, photography has helped us freeze the richness of the seas in frame. But with water pressure threatening to wreck any camera, it pays to have Olympus Underwater Housings and Accessories in hand.

Protection starts with the underwater housing. Olympus has created a number of high-grade polycarbonate cases that fits their digital cameras. While smaller Olympus cameras will easily fit into bigger housings, doing so still puts the device at risk. Aside from the fact that you will not be able to utilize the buttons due to loose space, that same space can be penetrated by water easily. Thus, it is advised that the proper housing is used for every camera.

To do so, select Save/Load Settings from the Set-up Menu then press Save Settings to have it stored in a memory card. After the firmware update, do the
