There’s a different and vibrant world beneath the ocean surface. It is a world where we are treated to the diversity of marine creatures and the beauty of structures such as corals and rock formations. Not everyone gets to see this first-hand. However, photography has helped us freeze the richness of the seas in frame.

However, you should save your camera settings because the Firmware update resets menu settings to “A X.XX”, “B X.XX”, “L X.XXX”, “D X.XX”, “L X.XX”, or the like. To do so, select Save/Load Settings from the Set-up Menu then press Save Settings to have it stored in a memory card. After the firmware update, do the
