Value). To switch between the function currently configured with the Control Ring, simply push the
symbol on the screen (Control Ring Function Switch) using the 2
housing (from the top).
If the symbol happens to be missing on the screen (Control Ring Function Switch) in shooting
mode, enter Menu  Shooting Settings  Page 2  Control Ring Settings  Switch with
select "Enable".
4. White Balance –
The following guideline is only relevant if you choose to include White Balance in the 4 items
available through the Quick Set Menu using Touch Screen Controls (see section #1- "Customizing the
Quick Set Menu Layout").
In most Quick Set Menu items, once an item (setting type) is selected, rotating the control ring
scrolls between the various options available for this setting. However, in most shooting modes,
when selecting White Balance through the Quick Set Menu using Touch Screen Controls, rotating
the Control Ring does not allow scrolling between the various white balance modes available on this
camera. Instead, rotating the Control Ring in this case only manually corrects white balance
temperature. There are a few methods to adapt in order to have full control and access to this
setting:
o Prior to installing the camera inside the housing, enter the white balance item through the
Quick Set Menu and use the touch screen to select the white balance mode you're most
likely to be working with underwater. The camera "saves" this mode as the default one and
displays this mode first whenever entering the White Balance item on the Quick Set Menu,
even if the camera is turned off and on again. During the dive, selecting White Balance on
the Quick Set Menu using Touch Screen Controls will automatically select the white balance
mode you've set prior to the dive, thereby providing you with easy access to your preferred
white balance mode. Note that while some shooting modes share the same default settings,
others feature different ones and will require separately setting up the default white balance
mode.
o In case a different white balance mode is requested during the dive (rather than the initial
white balance mode set up as the default one prior to installing the camera inside the
housing), it can be selected through the camera main menu. Push Menu  Shooting Menu
 Page 6  White Balance. Once the white balance menu has been entered, rotating the
Control Ring allows scrolling between the various modes available. Note that once a new
mode is selected, it also becomes the default one when entering the White Balance item on
the Quick Set Menu.
o Note that in Video shooting mode, white balance modes can be scrolled using the Control
Ring.
