Stupidly, I loaded the camera inside the housing in program mode. For the life of me, I couldn't figure how to get it back into manual. Two great dives, but not so many great pictures I'm afraid. So tell me: Is there a way to change modes when the camera is in the housing, or are you stuck with it the way you load it?

While you're at it, if you can remind me of proper settings for syncing the flash, I'd be much obliged. I think my fiddling may have thrown it all out of whack.

Duh. Of course it was the one dial I didn't try - on the upper right. Two dives worth of washed out
photos because I neglected the one obvious solution.

On the other hand, they were beautiful dives!
 
As you have answered yourself, the mode dial sits on top of the housing to the right.

Regarding your flash question. What kind of strobe are you using, Inon, Sea & sea, Ikelite? Ho is it connected? Do you plan on using it in manual or TTL mode?
