(before placing camera in housing)
-
Insert fully charged battery.
-
Insert and format a SD or SDHC memory card.

In Shooting Menu:
Set Image mode to “20m.”
Set White balance to “Auto.” If more accurate colors are desired,
we recommend setting manual white balance underwater using a white
slate or white sandy bottom. Manual white balance should be reset for
each working depth due to color absorption caused by the water. When
adding a UR-Pro color filter, reset manual white balance.

Set Macro mode to “On” when shooting close-up. If
the image is overexposed, use “-” exposure compensation
and/or back away, zoom in, and then reshoot.
