Scene modes
Most digital cameras offer a variety of “Scene” modes which

Flash Auto mode). For information on how to set your SeaLife camera’s
scene mode, please refer to your SeaLife camera instruction manual.
For non-SeaLife cameras, we recommend starting with AUTO
scene mode. If your non-SeaLife camera has an “underwater”
scene mode, don’t use it. These “underwater” modes are not
intended for cameras using an external flash. Read your camera’s
instruction manual to learn more about your camera’s scene
modes. Experiment to find the best setting for you.
