Canon G15 WP-DC48

[Neil97]

Hi im new here
I just got my WP-DC48 for the Canon G15, before i bought it I knew that the case dosen't support all the G15 functions but I couldnt find on the internt which ones exactly it does not support
So now I have it and I just discovered that I cant control the camera's shutter speed and aperture they're controlled by the Front dial and the Control dial, and I couldnt find a way to change that
Can someone approve that? Does the sutter speed and the apreture are really unsupported with the WP-DC48 in any way?

It should come with your housing? All camera functions are accessible you need just to read the manual...

Another way is to assign both functions to the control dial. You can do that in one of the menus. Then the control dial on the rear controls shutter speed and aperature, and toggles between the two if you're in manual mode. I have my G16 set up that way just because underwater it's easier than reaching around to the front dial, even though I have one on my Nauticam housing (I use the front dial for step-zoom). On the G16 when you set it up that way it toggles between shutter speed, aperature, and ISO. Pretty handy.

Edit: After I posted this I realized that the Canon case probably doesn't have a control wheel either. But maybe someone who has a case with one might not know about assigning functions to the control wheel.

As per instructions shortcut button plus left and right is for control dial and shortcut plus up and down is for front dial. Not a big deal but will require to operate with two hands

I'm trying to decide if I want to spend the extra $150.00 for the Fantasea (actually have to convince my husband) or if I should go with the Canon housing for my - yet to be purchased - G16. What can you tell me about the Fantasea that would convince me? Hate that I can't find a local retailer where I could do hands on comparisons.

Does the Fantasea come with a diffuser? I won't be investing in strobes and I've been very happy with the G10 w/o but a diffuser is essential.
