About Sea Mode

The Sea Mode is used to capture underwater pictures when NOT using the optional external flash accessory. In Sea mode, the camera will make color corrections to compensate for the loss of red colors typical in underwater photography.

In Sea mode, you can select the color correction you want depending on the type of water you are in. These color correction options are located in the White Balance Menu. Select “Blue Ocean” for warmer tropical waters; Select “Green Ocean” for colder waters containing more green algae: Select “Rivers/Lakes” for water containing more organic sediments.

To set SEA mode:

1.Press the MENU button.

2.Select [Scene mode] with the / buttons and press the SET button.

3.Select SEA mode with the / buttons and press SET.

To set the color correction (White Balance):

buttons depending on your type of water conditions and press SET.

diving or depths greater than 50ft / 15m depending on the amount of available light.
