Underwater Photography

The best time for underwater photography is when the sun is directly overhead (note that pictures taken underwater may have a blue cast). While shooting, avoid exhaling bubbles into the frame.

Shots can be taken at ranges of as little as 4 cm (1.6˝) when the camera is zoomed out to where the icon in the monitor turns green. Note that the flash may be unable to light the entire subject when the camera is zoomed out, and its range may vary with depth and clarity. It may also reflect from suspended materials, producing brights spots in the picture. Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.

Reactivating the Monitor

If the monitor has turned off to save power, it can be reactivated by pressing the power button or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway. By default, the monitor will turn off automatically if no operations are performed for one minute. The length of time the monitor remains active can be adjusted using the Auto off option in the camera setup menu.
