8. Use the landscape focus to minimize shutter lag time.

Shutter lag time is that annoying delay between pushing the shutter button and image capture. The camera uses this time to accurately measure the shooting distance for a sharp in-focus picture. For fast moving sealife, this can be a problem, but there is an easy solution. To minimize the shutter lag time we suggest keeping the camera set to landscape (inﬁnity) focus []. All underwater subjects beyond 11/2 feet (50cm) shooting distance will be in focus and the shutter lag time is reduced to a mere 0.37 seconds when the ﬂash is off (0.42 seconds in Ext Flash mode with optional ﬂash accessory).
