Underwater Photography
The best time for underwater photography is when the sun is directly overhead (note
that pictures taken underwater may have a blue cast). While shooting, avoid exhaling
bubbles into the frame.
Shots can be taken at ranges of as little as 4 cm (1.6˝) when the camera is zoomed out
to where the icon in the monitor turns green. Note that the fl ash may be unable to
light the entire subject when the camera is zoomed out, and its range may vary with
depth and clarity. It may also refl ect from suspended materials, producing brights spots
in the picture. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.
Reactivating the Monitor
If the monitor has turned off to save power, it can be reactivated by pressing the power
button or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. By default, the monitor will
turn off automatically if no operations are performed for one minute. The length of
time the monitor remains active can be adjusted using the
Auto off option in the
camera setup menu.
