4. Taking Pictures Under Water

Underwater shooting modes

 

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. 

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.
