Underwater shooting modes

 

 

 

(Examples)

EN

 

kUnderwater 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.

 

 

lUnderwater Wide-Angle 2

 

 

Suitable for shooting a large, fast moving

 

 

subject such as a dolphin or manta ray.

 

 

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 ray.

 

 

HUnderwater Macro

 

 

Suitable for close-up shooting of small fish

 

 

and other underwater creatures. Natural

 

 

colors of the underwater are accurately

 

 

reproduced. Red tones can be enhanced by

 

 

using the flash.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CAUTION:

 

 

When the Underwater Wide-Angle 1 or Underwater Macro scene mode is

 

 

selected, you can easily lock the focus position (AF lock operation) by

 

 

pressing the down arrow pad (AF LOCK) on the rear of the protector.

 

 

When the focus is locked, the AF lock indicator (V) appears on the top left

 

 

of the LCD monitor screen of the camera.
