2The camera is switched to underwater mode when it is lowered into water.

When the digital zoom is in effect, the shooting scene is set to U.

The focus area changes depending on which scene the camera selects. The camera detects and focuses on faces (see “Using Face Detection” (A62) for more information).

See “Focus and Exposure” (A29) for more information.

BNote on Easy Auto Mode

The desired scene mode may not be selected in certain conditions. In this case, select another shooting mode.

BNote after Taking the Camera out of the Water

After taking the camera out of water, sometimes it may not automatically switch to another scene from underwater mode.

Gently brush any water droplets with your hand from the camera or wipe it off with a soft and dry cloth. See “Cleaning after Using the Camera Underwater” (Axiv) for more information on caring for the camera.
