About Sea and Snorkel Modes

The Sea and Snorkel Mode are used to capture underwater pictures when

NOT using the optional external ﬂash accessory. Sea mode is ideal for scuba

diving below 25ft/8m depth. Snorkel mode is ideal for underwater pictures

above 25ft/8m depth. The camera will make color corrections to compensate

for the loss of red colors typical in underwater photography.

In Sea and Snorkel modes, you can select the color correction you want

depending on the type of water you are in. These color correction options are

located in the White Balance Menu. The default white balance setting for Sea

mode is Blue Water > 25ft/8m. The default white balance setting for Snorkel

mode is Blue Water < 25ft/8m.
