5. Underwater Shooting According to the Scene Type
The camera incorporates the following shooting scene modes. Select the
one best suited to the underwater scene you are shooting.
Underwater shooting modes
(Examples)
k Underwater 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.
l Underwater 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.
H Underwater Macro
Suitable for close-up shooting of small fish
and other underwater creatures. Natural
colors of the underwater are accurately
reproduced. Red tones can be enhanced by
using the flash.
CAUTION:
When the Underwater Wide-Angle 1 or Underwater Macro scene mode is
selected, you can easily lock the focus position (AF lock operation) by
pressing the down arrow pad (AFL button) on the rear of the protector.
When the focus is locked, the AF lock indicator (AFL) appears on the top
right of the LCD monitor screen of the camera.
