With the Panasonic DMW-MCTZ5 waterproof case for the Panasonic DMC-TZ5, DMC-TZ4, DMC-TZ11 and DMC-TZ15, you can use your digital camera to take underwater photos at depths of up to 130' (40 m). It is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes. A diffuser for the camera's flash is built onto the housing. This helps when using the camera's internal flash. For better results underwater, use the internal flash to trigger a slaved external strobe like those made by Fantasea, Sea & Sea, Ikelite, or Sealife. The camera has an underwater mode setting for available light photography.

"I used this on a boat dive down to 105 feet and had no problems with leaking. Buttons all worked great although the dial at the top to change scene options is a little touchy.

"This housing is great for photos in full on sheet rain as well as underwater shots. In general it doesn't fog and seals perfect if you follow the instructions and apply new silicone with each new adventure.

"I just got this before we went for holidays in Italy. Checked for leakage before I put the camera in, no problem!
