Peter I still have your address and will send you a copy of the instruction book which you should have as a base to start from but as you have seen in the CD you can certainly push the limits and get good/acceptable shots.   John if you drop me an address I will happily send you a copy of my photo CD (FOC) with commentary of shots taken in Malta and UK certainly in worse conditions than you describe.   I love the little beast mainly on account of the fact that it fits in the pocket of my BCD and I can take it on every dive.   All shots on the CD are without any external flash - many without flash at all and some at depth - and all aithout the additional close up lens.
I made myself a slave flash unit some time ago and whilst it worked perfectly every time on land it hardly ever worked underwater although when I have time I will experiment further.   I did experiment with 800 speed film but results were variable to say the least and I have now definitely settled on 400 speed film.
One of the best things about it as far as I am concerned is that it has a glass lens and not a plastic jobby as found in most cheap cameras.
