shooting while keeping your peripheral vision unblocked. It also comes with
an expandable leash so you can clip it to your BCD.
The functions you can operate underwater are. Power up and down. Record and
standby. Manual focus and auto focus. Manual or auto iris. Zoom and on screen
menu. White balance, AE settings. Shutter and menu screen. It also has a lever
to engage the polarizing filter.
