About Sea and Snorkel Modes

The Sea and Snorkel Modes 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.

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

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

mode is Green Water < 25ft/8m. To select Sea or Snorkel modes, follow the

Easy Setup mode described on page 23. You can also set the camera to Sea

or Snorkel modes under the Scene mode menu.
