About Sea Mode
The Sea Mode is used to capture underwater pictures when NOT using the
optional external flash accessory. In Sea mode, the camera will make color
corrections to compensate for the loss of red colors typical in underwater
photography.
In Sea mode, you can select the color correction you want depending on the
type of water you are in. These color correction options are located in the White
Balance Menu. Select “Blue Ocean” for warmer tropical waters; Select “Green
Ocean” for colder waters containing more green algae: Select “Rivers/Lakes”
for water containing more organic sediments.
To set SEA mode:
1. Press the
MENU button.
2. Select [Scene mode] with the
/ buttons and press the SET button.
3. Select SEA mode with the
/ buttons and press SET.
To set the color correction (White Balance):
1. Press the
MENU button.
2. Select [White Balance] with the
/ buttons and press the SET
button.
3. Select between Blue Ocean, Green Ocean or Rivers/Lakes with the
/
buttons depending on your type of water conditions and press SET.
The default setting is “Blue Ocean”.
When the camera is in Sea mode, the scene displayed on the LCD
display will appear red in color when you are on land. This is normal and
will appear different when you are underwater.
The Sea mode color correction feature will not work during night time
diving or depths greater than 50ft / 15m depending on the amount of
available light.
For best UW pictures, keep the camera’s flash OFF when in Sea mode.
If light conditions are too dark, we recommend using the SeaLife Digital
Pro Flash (item SL961 - optional accessory)
