Avoid using zoom while underwater to take pictures of subjects at far
away distances. For best underwater pictures, keep your subjects within
2 m / 6 ft shooting distance.

If the focus area frame is red, the light conditions or contrast may be too
low. Try again until focus frame is green, or try focussing on a subject
with higher contrast located at equal distance to the shooting subject.

The Flash icon on the LCD display flashes on and off when the flash is
