Under some lighting conditions, the HC7 /HC9 camera may pick up a reflection of any writing or reflective markings on the front of the lens. The solution is to go over any white or light-coloured/reflective markings with a black alcohol-based (permanent) felt-tip pen. Inking out the lens markings also improves performance when using ordinary filters and diopters above water. If you want to restore the lens to its original condition, you can remove the ink with cotton buds and alcohol (either industrial methylated spirit or isopropanol).
