About External Flash Modes
When using one (or two) SeaLife external flashes (optional accessory), set the
camera Scene mode to ExtFlash Auto or ExtFlash MNL mode.
In Ext Flash Auto mode, the camera automatically adjusts the exposure resulting
in sharp, colorful underwater pictures. The camera is pre-programmed to
account for the additional flash power and result in optimal image exposure
and brightness
In Ext Flash MNL mode, the camera aperture and shutter speed setting must
be manually set for the desired exposure effect. The Manual mode is intended
for advanced photographers only who are familiar with effects of aperture and
shutter speed settings.
In both Ext Flash modes, the camera’s flash is set to Forced Flash and will
always fire. When the camera’s flash fires, it will automatically fire the optional
External Flash accessory. For more information about the SeaLife External
Flash accessory, please visit your local dive retailer or www.sealife-cameras
