SHOOTING UNDER WATER

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).

When recording underwater, the sound of the camera's motor (a 
buzzing sound) is amplified. At the underwater mode setting, however, 
an audio filter works to reduce the sound of the motor (the sound 
quality is different from that when recorded in a scene mode other 
than the underwater mode).
Before using your camera underwater, be sure to read the sections 
“IMPORTANT: ABOUT THE WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE OF THE 
CAMERA” (page 11) an
d “MAINTENANCE AND WATERPROOF 
PERFORMANCE” (pages 12 t
o 19) in this manual, and to follow the 
instructions carefully. Incorrect use may cause water to leak into the 
camera and damage it.
