Canon s90/S95 W/Ikelite or Canon housing!!

[jcrews5508]

For all you Canon s90/95 owners who pair your camera with either the Canon or Ikelite housing and can't use the rear wheel, what do you find is the best function to use the shortcut button for?

Definitely White Balance. I have the Ikelite Housing and love it!

White balance is NOT a good use in my opinion. Get a large memory card and shoot raw so you don't have to think about it. That way you can always adjust later without any data loss, otherwise you only get one chance (per shot) to choose the right white balance if you shoot jpeg. Seems like extra work when you could be scouting for another shot or maybe missing a shot you could have otherwise taken.

Maybe use it for flash exposure compensation, so when you need to get a DS-TTL strobe* or two to go brighter for a wide angle, then turn it back down to normal settings for macro.

(FEC set to minimum, strobe turned to full does not get to 1/1 on my strobe even with the setting on the strobe maxed, it will meter properly lower no problem. To get full brightness I have to go back to 0 on the FEC so the camera can fire full and the strobe will respond in kind)

I have to agree with tarjan, I dont use manual white balance on mine. Im using the S95 with the Ikelite house and love it.
Shoot in RAW and then edit them after, this was taken with RAW in very green water and edited after - theres a big difference with a bit of editing:

That was my first time with the camera and housing so its not perfect
