4. Taking Pictures Under Water

Underwater shooting modes

kUnderwater Wide-Angle 1

Suitable for shooting a scene that extends across a wide range such as a
school of fish swimming through the water. Background blues are vividly
reproduced.

lUnderwater Wide-Angle 2

Suitable for shooting a large, fast moving subject such as a dolphin or
manta ray.
In many dolphin-watching locations, use of a flash is not permitted to avoid
frightening the dolphins. Although this mode was originally designed to
work without the flash, it can also be enabled if required, for example
when shooting a manta ray.

HUnderwater Macro

Suitable for close-up shooting of small fish and other underwater
creatures. Natural colors of the underwater are accurately reproduced.

CAUTION:

• When taking macro pictures on the wide-angle side, the flash light may be

missing in some parts or the light volume may not be uniform.

• During underwater shooting, shooting conditions (water clarity, suspended

matter, etc.) can have a significant effect on the range of the flash.

• Always check your pictures on the LCD monitor after shooting.
• Operation sound of camera may be recorded when recording the movies.
