ABOUT UNDERWATER PHOTOGRAPHY
• Underwater photography requires good lighting. Mid-day hours with the sun
directly overhead are best.
• Because of the absorption properties of water, pictures may come out bluish.
This effect increases with the diving depth and the subject distance.
• The minimum focus distance is approximately 20 cm (7.9 in). The focus icon
on the LCD monitor indicates the focus status, see the camera's instruction
manual.
• The flash range depends on the transparency of the water, diving depth, and
several other factors.
AUTO POWER OFF
To conserve battery power, the camera will shut down if an operation is not
made within three minutes. To restore power, press the main switch. The length
of the auto-power-off period can be changed. See the camera's instruction man-
ual for further information.

The case should be cleaned immediately after using it in salt or dirty water
