5. Underwater Shooting According to the Scene Type

The camera incorporates the following shooting scene modes. Select the one best suited to the underwater scene you are shooting.

Underwater shooting modes

(Examples)

Underwater Wide-Angle 1

Suitable for shooting a scene that extends across a wide range such as a school of fish swimming through the water. Background blues are vividly reproduced.

Underwater Wide-Angle 2

Suitable for shooting a large, slowly moving subject such as a dolphin or manta.

In many dolphin-watching locations, use of a flash is not permitted to avoid frightening the dolphins. Although this mode was originally designed to work without the flash, it can also be enabled if required, for example when shooting a manta.

Underwater Macro

Suitable for close-up shooting of small fish and other underwater creatures. Natural colors underwater are accurately reproduced. Red tones can be enhanced by using the flash.

TIP： • When shooting in the Underwater Wide 1 or Underwater Macro mode, you can lock the focus at the current position by pressing the Down cross-cursor button ( button) on the rear of the Case (AF lock).

When the focus is locked, the AF lock mark ( ) is displayed in the top left of the camera’s LCD monitor screen.
