4. Taking Pictures Under Water

How to use the hand strap

Using the flash

Taking pictures.

Confirm the picture on the LCD monitor.

This Case uses the LCD monitor to confirm the picture.

Press the shutter lever gently.

Hold the Case securely with both hands and press the shutter lever gently
to prevent camera shake.

Cautions when using the flash

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.

Pass your hand through the hand
strap provided and adjust the length
with the stop button.
