Before using the camera underwater, make sure to read and understand the information in "Important Information on Underwater Instructions". Taking underwater pictures is much different from taking land pictures. Here are the most important tips to taking great pictures underwater: 1. These floating particles cause small spots to appear in your picture, known as "backscatter". Always remember to limit your shooting distance to 1/10 of the water visibility. For example, if the visibility is 60 feet (18 m), you should keep your shooting distance to within 6 feet (1. 8m); in 30 feet (9m) visibility you should be no further than 3 feet (90 cm) away from your subject. The ideal shooting distance is between 2 to 6 feet (0. 6 to 1. 8 meters). Remember that light does not travel very far underwater, so the closer you are to your subject, the more colorful the pictures will be. First position yourself at the best angle, and neutralize your buoyancy. Second, use the LCD monitor to perfectly frame your subject, check your shooting distance and keep the camera steady. Third, be calm and patient: Sometimes you have to wait a while so the fish that were frightened away come back. Always be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe all safe-diving rules. Take many pictures of the same subject - If you don't like it, delete it - later. One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can review and delete pictures later, so take several pictures of the same subject. Evaluate picture for proper exposure and adjust exposure compensation as needed. 23 OPTIMA 830UW VIDEO MODE Recording Video Clips This mode allows you to record video clips at a resolution of VGA 640 x 480 / QVGA 320 x 240 pixels. Pressing the shutter button one more time will end the recording of the video clip. MODE The recording time depends on the storage size and the subject of the image to be recorded. The zoom function cannot be used during video recording. When recording a video clip, the flash and "10+2 sec. " self-timer function cannot be used. If the write speed of your SD/SDHC memory card is not fast enough for recording video clips in the currently selected quality, the video recording will stop. In this case, select a video quality lower than the current one. Playing Back Video Clips You can play back recorded video clips on the camera.
