About Dive and Snorkel Modes
The Dive and Snorkel Scene Modes are used to capture underwater pictures
and video when NOT using the optional external flash accessory. Dive mode is
ideal for scuba diving below 25ft/8m depth. Snorkel mode is ideal for underwater
pictures above 25ft/8m depth. The camera will make color corrections to
compensate for the loss of red colors typical in underwater photography.

2. Select [Scene mode] with the p / q buttons (or zoom lever) and press the
SET (or Shutter) button.

(or Shutter) button.

on the water color and depth. These color correction options are located in
the White Balance Menu. The default white balance setting for Dive mode is
Blue Water > 25ft/8m. The default white balance setting for Snorkel mode is
Blue Water < 25ft/8m. To select Dive or Snorkel modes, follow the Easy Setup
mode described on page 25. You can also set the camera to Dive or Snorkel
modes under the Scene mode menu.
