You're not supposed to use it underwater. It's water-proof, but not really supposed to be an underwater phone.
S5 is IP67 ceritfied. From wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_Code
6= No ingress of dust; complete protection against contact (dust tight)
7=Ingress of water in harmful quantity shall not be possible when the enclosure is immersed in water under defined conditions of pressure and time (up to 1 m of submersion).
It is designed to be waterproof to 1m. Water resistant implies "splashproof". This is beyond that.
Will samsung fix it if something goes wrong within 1m of water? No. The Xperia Z1 is waterproof with a ip58, so that requires them to fix it if something goes wrong.

IP67 is Water and Dust resistant (Even the marketing adverts, which always exhaggerate, said that.)
It's not waterproof.
As for how you're supposed to take pictures, try setting the camera controls to the volume keys.

point is if i put it in a bit of water is there a way to take i pic im still debting the s5 and z2
To be honest, you really think it's a smart move to place any $700 piece of tech in any sort of water? Samsung or your carrier will NOT replace/fix your device as water damage will void your warranty.

You can take pictures (and focus) with the volume buttons.
Which doesn't mean you should put the phone under water for a picture. If you want to take underwater pictures, most good underwater cameras (Canon, Sony) are around 200 euro. Don't waste a 700 euro smartphone on it, it's NOT included in the warranty!
You can take pictures with the Volume + or -
It´s not needed to change something in camera settings. Or use the selftimer ...
And the IP67 says, you can use yout device up to 30 minutes within a depth of 1 meter.
