SHOOTING UNDER WATER
This camera can be used underwater up to a depth of 3 m (10 feet) for up to 60
minutes continuously. When shooting underwater, set the scene mode setting
to underwater
. This setting ensures the best colors and audio recording for
underwater photography (pages 45 and 78).

When recording underwater, the sound of the camera's motor (a
buzzing sound) is amplified. At the underwater mode setting, however,
an audio filter works to reduce the sound of the motor (the sound
quality is different from that when recorded in a scene mode other
than the underwater mode).
Before using your camera underwater, be sure to read the sections
“IMPORTANT: ABOUT THE WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE OF THE
CAMERA” (page 5) and “MAINTENANCE AND WATERPROOF
PERFORMANCE” (pages 6 to 13) in this manual, and to follow the
instructions carefully. Incorrect use may cause water to leak into the
camera and damage it.
