Taking Underwater Images
Choose one of the underwater scene modes available in this camera by following the steps in
“Setting the Scene Mode”. Before using the camera underwater, make sure to read and
understand the information in “Important Information on Underwater Instructions”.
Taking underwater pictures is much different from taking land pictures. Here are the most
important tips to taking great pictures underwater:
1. Crystal Clear water.
Crystal clear water is essential for good underwater pictures. Floating particles like algae, and
silt cause low visibility. Avoid stirring up the sandy bottom with your fins. These floating
particles cause small spots to appear in your picture, known as “backscatter”. Always
remember to limit your shooting distance to 1/10 of the water visibility. For example, if the
visibility is 60 feet (18 m), you should keep your shooting distance to within 6 feet (1.8m); in 30
feet (9m) visibility you should be no further than 3 feet (90 cm) away from your subject.
2. Stay within the ideal shooting distance of 2 to 6 feet.
The ideal shooting distance is between 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). This distance will result
in detailed, colorful pictures. Remember that light does not travel very far underwater, so the
closer you are to your subject, the more colorful the pictures will be.
3. Move calmly and control your buoyancy before taking a picture.
It is very hard to take good pictures when you are moving. Look around for great picture
opportunities. First position yourself at the best angle, and neutralize your buoyancy. Second,
use the LCD monitor to perfectly frame your subject, check your shooting distance and keep
the camera steady. Third, be calm and patient: Sometimes you have to wait a while so the fish
that were frightened away come back. Don’t chase the fish, let the fish come to you.
Always be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe all safe-diving rules.
4. Take many pictures of the same subject - If you don’t like it, delete it - later.
One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can review and delete pictures
later, so take several pictures of the same subject.
5. Evaluate picture for proper exposure and adjust exposure compensation as needed.

unexpected results. If you experience an error using a slower SD/SDHC memory card, you
can set your camera’s video recording to QVGA (320 x 240) and standard quality.
