Housing and Camera Setup

STEP 1 - Initial Camera Setup

Setup your camera for underwater use and then adjust your settings once underwater.
Initial Camera Setup
- Remove camera lanyard if attached.
- Start each dive with a fully charged camera battery.
- Set Mode Dial to "M" Manual. Set shutter speed to 1/125th second and
aperture to F5.6 when using external strobes or F3.7 when using only
the built-in flash, page 12.
- In MENU - M:
Set Image Quality to "Fine" and Image Size to "16:9/12m." NOTE: Other
Image Sizes can be used, however, slight vignetting may occur.
Set White balance to "Auto." Always use AUTO white balance (AWB)
when using a strobe/flash. When recording video or using a UR-Pro
color filter without strobes, AWB can still be used, but for more accurate
and consistent colors we recommend setting Manual white balance.
Manual white balance should be reset for each working depth due to
color absorption caused by the water.
Set Metering to
Set ISO sensitivity to "200." When using built-in flash only set to "800."
Set AF area mode to "Center" and autofocus mode to AF-S "Single AF."
- In MOVIE MENU -
Set Movie Options to "1080/30p" and AF area mode to
Set Autofocus mode to "AF-F" and Movie VR to "On."
Set Frame Rate to "30 fps."
