Does the case allow you to take pictures and video under water?

Yes you can. Make sure you open the camera before you or the device submerge underwater. THen the volume + button becomes our best friend now! Then just use the volume + button to take pictures!

Hi Andrew, You can safely submerge and use your phone up to 100 feet. Taking pictures is still possible while submerged as long as you can still see the capture button on your screen. Hope that helps. Kind Regards, Angie/ECO-FUSED

I have not been able to use the touch screen immersed in water. You can use the volume switches to take photos underwater.

I don't recomend you to take pictures underwater cause the membrane is really delicated, even when you try to use the touch screem its really hard and difficult.It's better if you only use this case under rain.Good luck with your case.!!

Absolutely!!! I have this exact model of camera and float. The float wii actually bring the camera to the surface when under water!

Yes it does which allows you to record and take picture without removing the case.

I love the camera but I have had three and they all have leaked after about a year. With the case I think I can get more time out of the underwater camera. Yes, it will work underwater without the case.. I snorkel once a month. If you snorkel once a year on a vacation it should be fine. It takes beautiful pictures and movies with the case. I am happy with the case. I hope this helps.

Yes you can take pictures. No, it can't stay underwater without leaking. Do NOT trust this case to be waterproof. My iPod got ruined from this false advertised piece of junk!!

I had to have the camera ready to go before putting it under the water. The quality of video and pics is 100% as good as without the case. I even took pics at 8ft under the water and video at 4ft under and both were full HD. I was the guinea pig for several friends who want to get these cases. The pressure of the water did turn off the camera/video occasionally when I tried to submerge it but I guess its not really made for that, I was just testing to see how it did. It stayed 100% dry the whole time

Yes you can take stills underwater. You can also take stills from the video that are pretty good quality.

I took mine snorkeling and it worked fine. You have to make sure that the camera is positioned properly, and there is difficulty adjusting the buttons. But I got some great pics with it. Above water, you have to watch out for water drops on the front of the lens case. the camera will try to focus on those.

Unfortunately it's basically impossible to swim under water with this pouch. An air pocket forms in the pouch. It allows you to take pictures with the lens in the water, but as far as diving goes? I'd look somewhere else.

Yes you can still take pictures. Many cases I interfere with the flash by casting a shadow. The lifeproof case does not. The flash and camera work very well. I had a friend use it when snorkeling and it did a decent job. But personally I'd feel uncomfortable using it as an underwater camera even though I hear you can. Otherwise I use the camera all the time and it does a good job. No problems at all.

Yes. The case doesn't affect photos at all. Flash also operates normally with the case on. You can even take crystal clear photos underwater (just make sure to test case according to the instructions first).

The case triples the max depth that you can take the camera. Without the case you can take the camera to about 40 feet underwater. If you add the external case you can take the camera to 120 feet.
