Double check - Once the housing is closed, check the o’ring seal. Check the gap between the housing back and the housing, it should be even all the way around.
Look through the clear plastic back at the o’ring. You should see a darkened area where the o’ring is compressed against the housing back. If you do not see an even black compression seal all the way around the back, open the lid snaps, reseat the housing back and close the lid snaps. Visually check the seal again.

Zoom Control
(NOTE:) After you have used the housing’s zoom control it must be returned to the center position to disengage. If the housing zoom control is pushing the zoom lever in either direction the camera may not take a picture or access any other function as the camera is receiving a signal from the engaged zoom control.
