In the reviews of the camera i bought it says this:"If you're a snorkeler or scuba diver, you'll like the Under Water Wide 1, Under Water Wide 2 (locked focus for quicker shutter release), and Under Water Macro modes; but since this isn't one of Olympus FE-280's waterproof models, you'll need an underwater housing to use them."But i dont get it?& what does underwater housing mean?

it is an optional accessory you can buy that seals around camera making it water proof but still allows movement to push buttons and etc.... not waterproof until you get the housing accessory

It means your camera is NOT waterproof at all, any attempt to go near water will break it. This is so cheesy of them to advertise it that way, because any camera on earth will work under water with a housing (think of it as putting your camera into a completely watertight case and going under water with it).

I planned and held my first wedding in two months and my second wedding in three months. If you have the luxury of a year or more, feel lucky! Wedding Invitation Ideally, invitations should be mailed out 6-8 weeks before the big day to give guests time to make arrangements to attend and RSVP back to you.
