Hi Joe, welcome to the forums. If you search around the forums a bit, you'll find answers to most of the questions you might have.

Here is a link to the missing LANC workaround:

For the scuba thing, someone once mentioned an underwater casing website on here. I'm sure if you scratch around you'll find it.

Happy to help

I share your concern. I bought the HV20 for topside videography, but I just picked up a used underwater housing on ebay. I am adapting the mechanical controls and should be able to get access to everything including the white balance, but will not have zoom (I could probably get that going too, but I don't think I'll be using the zoom, only max wide angle). I will have to practice as well to get used to operating the controls. It is a pretty solid housing and is leakproof in the pool, but I will take it down to 90 feet or so without the camera just to make sure.



The lack of a Lanc does hinder underwater housing choices, and as such a lot of the underwater folks are going with the Sonys, but I already have the HV20, so I am adapting. Besides, it has better low light sensitivity and 24p, big pluses for the underwater world.
