Any insights on using the SCN mode under water options vs aperture priority would be appreciated. So far I've tried SCN mode with snow setting and for a gray day didn't see it any better than the P mode. Snow setting in bright late day snow had good exposure.

I found I got the best results out of A mode with Auto WB and manual ISO, even underwater. The metering seems pretty good and I haven't had to dial in any exposure comp yet. SCN mode sometimes got the white balance wrong, and with no raw file that's annoying to correct.

Thanks again.

P.S. I was glad to find the black lens ring in the packaging, but wonder about the posts I read where some owners got the silicon cover. Mine came from redeeming airline miles in the USA.

My silicon jacket came in the box (in Australia). We get a slightly different package for Olympus products and a different warranty also. The price was a little higher than in the USA.
