4. Taking Pictures Under Water

How to Use the Hand Strap

Pass your hand through the accessory hand strap and adjust the length with the stop button.

Take pictures carefully.

Confirm the picture on the LCD monitor.

This Case uses the LCD monitor to confirm the picture. The optical viewfinder cannot be used.

Quietly press the shutter lever.

When pressing the shutter lever, hold the Case securely with both hands and operate the lever quietly to prevent camera shake.

Cautions when using the flash

When taking macro pictures on the wide-angle side, the flash light may be missing in some parts or the light volume may not be uniform.

Flash working range

W:Approx. 0.2 m to 3.4 m

T:Approx. 0.2 m to 2.0 m

Depending on the conditions at the time of shooting (clarity of the water, suspended matter, etc.), the applicable flash distance may become shorter. After taking a picture, display it on the LCD monitor for confirmation.

(Playback mode is reached by quickly pressing the monitor display button twice in a row. Pressing it once more will return the camera to shooting mode.)
