I did a couple dives and everything was fine. Then on the next dive I took one photo and then after that I could not get the camera to focus. I had a strong focus light and so lighting wasn't the issue. I had a fresh battery in and used the same memory card from the other dives. The card only had 10% used on it. It looked like the zoom bar on the side of the screen was illuminated even though I hadn't hit it. Is there any kind of reset for the camera? Should I reinstall the firmware? I was not happy since I was at a new dive site and saw some very cool stuff. Has this happened to you?

Nope, not had the problem. Two ideas come to mind, altho I don't know if they'll help - worth a try.
1: Clean your lens, on the camera, inside and out of housing. BTW, when I'm shooting, I try to keep my housing wet, maybe just wrapped in a wet t-shirt, until I get back to the room, then soak it for an hour - to avoid precipitation of hard salts, fresh or ocean.
2: Download the firmware update. Couldn't hurt.
