The pentax optio WP can go underwater without a water housing unit. It can only go underwater about 5 ft.

Pentax optio WG 2 water leak in battery compartment

And with rust around the seal it will leak even more. Is there no guaranty on the camera anymore? I would contact Pentax, to ask them what to do. Special when I needed the camera in a moist (under water) environment.

After taking some pictures underwater, my camera is not functioning well. it made some weird noise and it spark. How can i fix this?

It is possible that there was a leak within and a possible case of salt water that has gone into the camera.You need to remove to confirm and if so this must be referred with the battery removed immediately and the unit left to dry.

After using the camera underwater it now freezes and the buttons stick. Basic signs of water damage.

The problem is not solved. I've resigned myself to the fact that buying this camera was a huge mistake. Your response to my inquire for repair only suggested other web sites to visit. No clear solution. After researching other consumers who purchased this camera, its clearly a defective product that Pentax is unwilling to deal with. Consumers who still have a warranty for the camera were told by Pentax that there is nothing that can be done. I for one will not be purchasing any more Pentax cameras in the future.

Switching off as if battery is depleted when the battery is newly charged

I called Pentax and they said it's a known problem and the lens needs to be re-synchronized. They said this is usually caused by dust in the lens.

I have to send the camera to : -
Pentax U.K. Limited
Pentax House
Heron Drive
Langley
Slough
SL3 8P

It's a free repair if you bought the camera less than a year ago o/w they will send you a quote for the repair.

Screws Missing

Same issue here although there has not yet been any effect on function. I do quite a bit of underwater photography and the images have remained very good without the screws.

The parts people at Pentax Imaging in Golden Co were very friendly in offering a free set of screws when I called.
