Question 2

App Set Up & Permissions

Accepted Answer

The first time you download our App, it will ask for your permission to take pictures/record videos, record audio, and access your device's location. It is ESSENTIAL you select "While using the app" for taking pictures and recording video, and to record audio in order to save all your underwater footage to your Photos/Gallery's app with audio in your videos. Please follow these app permissions so your app will perform as expected.

*Location Permission Optional* 
If you'd like locations saved to the footage captured with the ProShotCase app, you must select either "While using the app" or "Only this time" for the permission asking to access your device's location.

Question 3

How to Control the App with your Volume Buttons

Accepted Answer

When your camera screen is open within the app, you can control it entirely with your phone's volume buttons:

• Press volume (-) to cycle between modes. 
 • Press volume (+) to activate the mode you're in (take a picture, start/stop a video, etc.)
 • Long-press either volume button to zoom in and out, all the way to your wide-angle lens. You must be in an Action Mode to zoom in and out. 
 • Learn more about Action Modes in the "ProShotCase App Camera Modes" info section. 
 • Learn more about zooming in and out in the Zoom & Wide-Angle Lens info section.

Before you use the app for the first time in the water, we recommend playing around with it above water to familiarize yourself with it!

Question 4

ProShotCase Camera App Modes

Accepted Answer

The ProShotCase app provides access to the following camera modes: Photo, Video, Slow-Motion, Timer, Timelapse, Burst, and Selfie Cam, plus it allows zooming and wide-angle camera access. In addition, there's a Sleep Mode that helps save your phone's battery while in use.

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fdee45_45f822aec97a426bb5ab8e1ee3fa9263~mv2.jpg
Most of the Camera Modes within the app capture footage, we call these "Action Modes". 
Action Modes that capture footage by pressing volume (+) include: Photo, Video, Slomo, Timer, Timelapse, and Burst. 
The camera button on the bottom of your camera screen will be RED when you're in an Action Mode, to remind you that mode will capture footage. -->

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fdee45_96f78186ff41491aa7b72e887fb47738~mv2.jpg

The app also has two "Setting Modes". 
Setting Modes will adjust your camera settings by pressing volume (+), these include: Selfie Cam/Front Cam, and Sleep Mode. Setting Modes do not capture footage when activated with volume (+). The camera button on the bottom of your camera screen will be WHITE when you're in a Setting Mode, to remind you that mode will NOT capture footage. -->

For zooming in and out within the app, long-hold either volume button while in any Action Mode. Please find more detailed instructions for zooming in and out further down in this drop down info section.

*PROSHOT TEAM TIP*: To save time toggling between modes underwater, don’t turn them all on! Only activate the camera modes you plan to use on your next adventure > Within your ProShotCase App's Settings, go to 'Select Camera Modes' and choose which modes you'd like available for your next use.

Camera App Settings We Recommend Activating:
- Sleep Mode
- Bright Sun Mode
- Underwater Mode - ProShot Touch Users Only
Please find more detailed information about the above modes further down in this drop down info section.

Question 5

Sleep Mode (Battery Saver Mode)

Accepted Answer

Sleep Mode is the app's Battery Saver Mode. When activated, by clicking volume (+), it turns your phone's display off to preserve battery life. Your phone will remain awake and within the ProShotCase App. When you're ready to use your app/camera again, just click either volume button and your phone will wake into your app ready to shoot. We recommend activating Sleep Mode during breaks between dives and long breaks between shots.

Question 6

Underwater Mode (Only Needed for ProShot Touch Users)

Accepted Answer

*Underwater Mode is Only Needed for ProShot Touch Users when Filming Underwater*

When Underwater Mode is on, your iPhone's touchscreen within the app will be deactivated, making underwater filming much smoother. Water running over the case's touchscreen film acts like a hand constantly touching the phone's screen, making your phone react inaccurately to your touch and behave randomly. Underwater Mode will stop your smartphone from reacting sporadically underwater and allow you to control the app entirely with your volume buttons.
https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fdee45_990ba71528624f43af94c6b2fea9c35b~mv2.jpeg

WHEN TO USE: 
Necessary to use with any ProShot Touch Case for all submerged filming (snorkeling, freediving, and open water diving). Underwater Mode is a setting that can be turned on and off within the ProShotCase app's Settings.

WHAT IS UNDERWATER MODE:
It disables your touchscreen within the app to prevent water from randomly activating touch controls. When on, you must control your camera entirely with your volume buttons. The Settings icon in the upper right corner of our app's camera screen will remain clickable. You can still “swipe up” on your phone to switch apps and go to your home screen, using your phone/touchscreen as normal outside of our app. When Underwater Mode is turned on, the camera button on our app's camera screen will appear with blue waves on it.

Question 7

Bright Sun Mode

Accepted Answer

When Bright Sun Mode is on, a black bar will display behind the camera mode names on your camera screen to help you better see and read your screen. We recommend turning on Bright Sun Mode on bight sunny days.

Bright Sun Mode is a setting that can be turned on and off in our app's Settings section.

Question 8

Zoom (+ Optical Zoom) & Wide-Angle Functionality

Accepted Answer

When your camera is in an Action Mode (Photo, Video, Slow-Motion, Timer, Timelapse, and Burst), you can zoom in and out by long holding your volume buttons. You can zoom in and out before or during filming.

➕ LONG HOLD the Volume (+) button = Zoom in all the way to 5.0x in 1.0x increments
➕ Once your zoom amount gets to 3.0x, your camera will switch to using the telescopic lens for optical zooming
➖ LONG HOLD the Volume (-) button when zoomed in = Zoom out to 1.0x from any zoomed in amount
➖ LONG HOLD the Volume (-) button in 1.0x = Zoom out to your wide-angle camera

Notes: 
 • The wide-angle camera will only go to 0.7x on certain Android devices. This is to stop the camera from capturing the inside edge of the case.
 • The app will zoom in up to 5.0x only if your phone's camera has that capability. If your phone cannot zoom to 5.0x in its native camera app, the ProShotCase app will not either.
 • Slow-Motion mode does not support zooming.

Question 9

How to take Selfie Footage

Accepted Answer

Within the app you will be able to take photos and videos with your selfie camera! "Selfie Cam" is a camera mode in the app that can be turned on and off in the app's Settings > Select Camera Modes. "Selfie Cam" is one of the app's "Setting Modes" that does not take footage with volume (+), but instead changes the camera setting (flips the camera from front to selfie) when activated with volume (+).

To take a selfie photo or video, cycle through your modes until you hover on Selfie Cam. Press volume (+) to activate Selfie Cam and you will see the screen flip to your selfie camera. Then, continue to use the app like you do with the forward facing camera. Press volume (-) to switch to an Action Mode (photo, video, slow-motion, burst, timer, or timelapse) then press volume (+) in any of these Action Modes to take a selfie photo or video. You can zoom in and out to wide-angle while in your selfie camera as well, by long-pressing either volume button. To return to the forward camera, press volume (-) until you hover on "Front Cam" mode, then press volume (+) to flip back to the forward camera.

Question 10

Volume Button Indicator

Accepted Answer

https://static.wixstatic.com/media/fdee45_5a65dd6cee8342b6885171d597557824~mv2.jpg
Both ProShotCases for Android (Dive & Touch) have two sets of volume buttons on the case to enable compatibility with all Android devices. Your phone will naturally line up with one of the volume button sets (either the top set or the bottom set). 
To help you interact with the correct set of volume buttons on your case, our app has a visual Volume Button Indicator that reminds you where your volume buttons are located so you only click one set of volume buttons.

When you open our app for the first time on your phone, we recommend interacting with the app tutorial that pops up - at the end of the tutorial, it will walk you through setting your Volume Button Indicator.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR VOLUME BUTTON INDICATOR:
Go to the app's Settings and turn on Volume Button Indicator. Go back to the app's camera screen and a pop up will appear walking you through the steps to set your Volume Button Indicator (screenshot above).
1. With your camera in landscape mode, drag the little black rectangle with a + & - on it to line up with your phone's volume buttons, then click Save. 
2. Turn your camera to horizontal mode (volume buttons on the top) and repeat: drag the new little black rectangle with a + & - on it to line up with your phone's volume buttons, then click Save.

Notes: 
 • Once you set the Volume Button Indictor in both landscape and horizontal mode, the locations will save and not need to be set again.
 • You can turn the Volume Button Indicator on and off in the app's Settings. 
 • If you need to reset the location of your Volume Button Indicator, go to the app's Settings and toggle the "Reset Volume Button Indicator button". Then repeat the steps above.

Question 11

Advanced Settings for Photographers (RAW & Wide-Gamut Color)

Accepted Answer

You can enable RAW Photos and Wide Gamut Color through our app’s Settings > Advanced Settings.

We recommend only using these settings if you’re an experienced photographer and understand how to edit your photos before viewing them.
