angle image.

halfway automatically focuses
and adjusts the exposure, and

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
charging. When the flash icon is solid, the camera is ready.
