Waterproof testing of PAM243L

So it's now rated to 0.01 meters?
lol, I'd say there's less than a millimetre of water at a time, so 0.001m

I'm not a big swimmer!
(As an aside, I've already had it fully submerged in water and it has been ok so far.
)@ tats - I have an Olympus E420 DSLR with Zuiko Digital 14-42mm lens. My setup was fairly simple as follows:-
Camera was on a tripod, set to F5.6 (shutter speed was 1/20s on aperture priority mode), 2s delayed firing, auto focus, full zoom on my 14-42mm lense, ISO 100. I set up the tripod at the kitchen sink, tried a few test shots with different angles and water intensity and then snapped a few "proper" shots - the hardest part was getting the right light/reflection/water (there is a window behind the sink so I had to angle the watch to pick up some of the daylight to keep the shutter speed reasonable and minimise shake from my wrist - I also had my hand resting on the edge of the sink to help keep it steady). I was able to have the tripod close enough to the kitchen sink to see through the viewfinder while my wrist was under the tap - just, I was looking in sideways! (It's a mixer tap so I had it swung forward as far as possible.) I then cropped the photos on the PC to give the close-up effect.
Hope this helps!

Thanks - those came out pretty great. I have a decent camera kit but most of my lenses have larger minimum focusing distances so I'm glad to see that wasn't taken with a macro lens. Very good quality for the amount of cropping.
Hey Del,nice photos btw.
Is this from the recent batch of 243's?
Just got mine from Puretime (excellent transaction btw)
Haven't had it water-pressure tested yet...
The Koala.

:lol: Thanks Bonesey! Yes, some would say we are bonkers!
@ koala - this is from the initial pre-order batch before the Chinese New Year. I got it from Hont.
