Sony DSC-P1 w/Marine Pack Housing

Posted by Mike on September 27, 2001 at 09:51:19:

While diving I had the oportunity to use my wife's housed Sony DSC-P1 recently, and wonder if anyone can offer any information regarding the following:

1. I wear prescription lens in my mask, and have a problem seeing clealy the image screen before taking a picture. Is there any type of correction lens that can be used to help me see the screen?

2. We've both noticed that when using the camera in telephoto mode, both above and below water, there appears to be a difference between what's viewed on the image screen and what is "photgraphed"-the image that is captured is skewed to the right of the photo. Lost a great picture of a white tipped reef shark because of this-chopped off its nose. Has anyone encountered this, and what's the reason for it?
