Zoom in

Focus and shoot
Press the shutter-release button on the case half-
way to focus.  Smoothly press the button the rest 
of the way down to shoot.  Pictures can be played 
back using the 

 button on the case.

The best time for underwater photography is when the sun is directly overhead (note 
that pictures taken underwater may have a blue cast).  While shooting, avoid exhaling 
bubbles into the frame.

Close-up shots can be taken at ranges of as little as 4 cm (1.6˝) when the camera is 
zoomed out to where the   icon in the monitor turns green.  Note that the fl ash may 
be unable to light the entire subject when the camera is zoomed out, and its range may 
vary with depth and clarity.  It may also refl ect from suspended materials, producing 
brights spots in the picture.  Take a test shot and view the results in the monitor.

If the monitor has turned off to save power, it can be reactivated by pressing the power 
button or by pressing the shutter-release button halfway.  By default, the monitor will 
turn off automatically if no operations are performed for one minute.  The length of 
time the monitor remains active can be adjusted using the Auto off option in the 
camera setup menu.
