It was updated after they found the error/miscalculation...You should have no worries and it should be set for your camera if done correctly...

Has anyone besides me taken any underwater pics? Can they share there experiences?
thanks,
thanks,
Well, as I said earlier most of my pics were overexposed...I have since bought a couple books to help me tune my camera since I had it on "auto" mode and thats what led to overexposure...I got the books by Martin Edge and also the one by Tackett. Looks like good ideas inside. Next Sat I will be going to coronado islands so hoping to get better results. Then I will be back in Ca in June and planning channel islands. (Anyone recommend a good dive boat for channel islands?)
Anyhow, here are couple of my better pics from Yukon...

Thought it made sense for an update...
I have been using the camera and strobe steadily now. Used it on 30 dives in 2008. It has performed well... I set on Aperature mode mostly and I have learned how to crank up the flash power and still not over expose pics. I always review the histogram when shooting and adjust accordingly. My ratio of good pics to garbage has gone way up. Posting a couple of my better ones here. The last pic, the queen angel, was 100 feet deep on a wreck. I chased it a while before getting a good pic.
My sticky pad (attached to housing to detect flash) also fell off during a dive. VERY frustrating. I had to electrical tape it on for the rest of the dives. I since bought some super glue to re-install and I keep glue in my carry case now for this. It would be beneficial for everyone to do this. I have had some issues with sticky buttons and recommend LONG soaks after a day diving. Now am religious about soaking regulator/watch/camera housing. Mostly I dive out of hotel rooms on business so these soaks are key.
