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
Because the focal length is fixed, 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 and if getting too close to the
subject, the flash light may be missing in some parts of the picture 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.
