ProShotCase App Tips for iPhone
KEEP YOUR ‘PROSHOTCASE’ CAMERA APP UP TO DATE!
Latest Version published August 2025 (Version 8.4)
We are constantly updating our App to enhance your underwater experience. Please keep your 'ProShotCase' app up to date. Feel free to share (mailto:info@proshotcase.com)app suggestions or feedback! If you're facing any issues, please try our troubleshooting tips or contact us.(mailto:info@proshotcase.com)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3STudx4pL8o&ab_channel=ProShot%26TidalSports
The first time you download our App, it will ask for your permission to access your Camera, Photos & Microphone. It is ESSENTIAL you select "OK" for Access to Camera & "Allow Access to All Photos" in order to save all your underwater footage to your Photos. Please follow the app permissions below so your app will perform as expected.
*BATTERY SAVING TIP*
Our App will also ask to access Location Services to add locations to your saved footage. To save battery on a long day out, you can remove our App's permission to access your Location Services (in your iPhone's Settings > ProShotCase).
How Your ProShotCase App Should Look in your iPhone Settings:
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!
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
ACTION MODES:
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
SETTING MODES:
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.
When your camera is in an Action Mode (Photo, Video, Slomo, Timer, Timelapse, 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 0.6x. This is to stop the camera from capturing the inside edge of the case.
• Your zoom amount will remain when toggling between modes.
• 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.

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.
https://video.wixstatic.com/video/fdee45_ada3c0f909c04373b5ffbd8d870095a6/1080p/mp4/file.mp4
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 on 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.

*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 iPhone from reacting sporadically underwater and allow you to control your 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 found in the ProShotCase app.
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. The camera button on the camera screen will appear with blue waves on it indicating you have Underwater Mode turned on.
To prevent your phone from unintentionally “swiping up” and leaving your ProShotCase app, turn on Guided Access through your iPhone's settings. You can find detailed info on Guided Access on our ProShot Touch Case instructions page.(https://www.proshotcase.com/proshot-touch-2-0-instructions)
As you may already know, the ProShot team (https://www.proshotcase.com/about-us)is made up of a small group of divers and snorkelers. We absolutely love using all of our own gear on every underwater adventure. We've had the pleasure of using our ProShotCases hundreds of times, allowing us to figure out a couple of tips and tricks to get the best experience with our app and case. Below is a list of our most useful tips and tricks that we personally use every time we jump in the water with our ProShotCase.
1. We recommend putting your phone in Airplane Mode before each use to save battery and block distracting notifications. Make sure to turn Wifi off too. If we plan to be out and about for a full day of adventuring, we recommend closing all open apps on your phone and just leaving the ProShotCase app open. This makes your phone's battery last all day no problem!
2. If using a ProShot Touch Case (with touchscreen access), we always turn on "Underwater Mode" in our app's Settings to disable the phone's touchscreen. The Settings icon in the app will remain clickable. Underwater Mode helps your app respond only to the volume button controls while underwater.
3. While our app is programmed to keep your phone display screen on, as a back-up, we like to turn our phone's display to "Always-on display" in the phone's Settings > "Display & touch". We also recommending turning your phone's brightness all the way up so you can easily see you screen underwater in all conditions.
4. To save time underwater toggling between camera modes in our app, we make sure to activate only the camera modes we want to use on our next swim. You can turn on/off all Camera Modes in your app's Settings > Select Camera Modes. We recommend turning on only the modes you wish to use before each adventure.
5. We always make sure our hands are dry before inserting our phone into the ProShotCase. If we happen to get a drop of water on the phone before closing it inside a case, we make sure to dry the phone off with the microfiber cloth (included in every travel case) before inserting it into the case. Any water droplets on the phone inside a closed ProShotCase will create condensation/fog inside the case. So make sure your phone is dry before locking it into a ProShotCase for your next swim!
We hope you enjoy using your ProShotCase and app! Please get in touch with us if you have any questions, issues, or feedback. We're eager to help you have the best experience possible with your ProShot products 😁 And we're always working to improve them too!

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.
