  • Page 14: Viewing The Subject

    VIEWING THE SUBJECT The SD770 and SD1100 cameras do not have a standard eyepiece, but underwater photographers and outdoor photographers will appreciate the large 2.5 inch LCD viewing monitor for composing photographs. The LCD monitor allows you to see your subject in sharp focus and framed properly. Hold the camera housing in your outstretched arm at a position that is both comfortable and also allows you to easily see the LCD monitor, for best compositional options.

  • Page 15: Battery Life

    BATTERY LIFE Rechargeable Li-ion Battery NB-4L (SD1100)/ NB-5L (SD770) There are certain things that users can do to help with battery life. The most important is to set the camera to turn the LCD off after a short time, during periods of non-use. It can then be automatically turned back on if you depress the shutter release control half way.

  • Page 16: Using The Flash

    USING THE FLASH The PowerShot has a built-in flash, which will illuminate nearby underwater subjects. For subjects that are farther away, an accessory slave flash is recommended (see below). A built-in flash diffuser is supplied which will help achieve a wider and softer light source thereby providing more coverage and less likelihood of backscatter (the unattractive snowstorm affect of the flash reflecting off the suspended particles in the water).

    Below you can see one sample system. For more information please refer to our website or to the Fantasea Dealer where you purchased your housing.

  • Page 18: Shooting Techniques

    SHOOTING TECHNIQUES EXPOSURE MODES (PRE-SET BEFORE CAMERA INSERTION) There are several exposure modes for photographers to choose from, depending on the situation.
