It also offers an interval shooting option that takes continuous shots at two-, five- or 10-second intervals. As mentioned earlier, this feature was originally designed for oceanographers, but now you&#8217;ll be able to try it out yourself.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_P\">\n<p>Before you dive into the ocean to run Ocean Mode at your own pace, you should keep in mind the limitations of the Galaxy S25 Ultra&#8217;s IP rating. The S25 Ultra has an IP68 rating, which means it protects against dust and prolonged submersion in water under pressure. However, this refers to protection against freshwater, not saltwater. Submerging your phone in salt water may damage its watertight seal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_uc e_P\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
