2. It will take some time

To memorize all the functions; it's very hard to see menus on the beach and I need to learn them all by heart. But first use is encouraging. Colour is very good, so is the 1cm focus mode.

Quality is excellent for a 12mp camera. I think we get sucked in by megapixels and not lens quality. Self timer can be customised to take interval shots and there's a remote control available as an extra which I might get. Using self timer underwater seems to heat the camera up and cause a bit of fogging.

Still a lot to learn, but I got all summer.

Test pic in aperture mode.
