Panasonic HX-WA10 owner manual Shooting Under Water

SHOOTING UNDER WATER

This camera can be used underwater up to a depth of 3 m (10 feet) for up to 60 minutes continuously. When shooting underwater, set the scene mode setting

to underwater . This setting ensures the best colors and audio recording for underwater photography (pages 51 and 84).

Before using your camera underwater, be sure to read the sections

“IMPORTANT: ABOUT THE WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE OF THE CAMERA” (page 11) and “MAINTENANCE AND WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE” (pages 12 to 19) in this manual, and to follow the instructions carefully. Incorrect use may cause water to leak into the camera and damage it.
