The only people I have seen use proper underwater digital cameras are marine botanists and other scientific personnel Although not exclusively used by scientist, the underwater digital camera does see some action in the world of film. To be waterproof is to resist the water to certain levels, submerging it under the water to get the perfect shot is like throwing it out of the window expecting a pick-up truck to pass by and run over it.

There aren?t that many manufacturers of these specialist cameras owing to the problem of water ingress into the cameras case and the pressure they have to work under. A working option has been to manufacture a transparent plastic case that holds the digital camera in place. Cases like this, inexpensive in comparison to a real underwater digital camera, can for a while make you believe that you too are some kind of underwater photographer.

There are a few things you need to be aware of if you are taking photos underwater.

Water diffuses the light and the farther down you go the more this diffusion occurs. You will notice that images captured underwater are always darker and this is a You will also notice when you see the pictures taken underwater that they appear larger than they should; this is part of the magnifying effect water has. Be sure to check your underwater digital camera?s viewfinder to check the right picture angle and size that you want.

On the subject of checks prior to going underwater, it is a good idea to make sure the digital camera case doesn?t leak so submerge it underwater for a short while just to confirm it will be ok when you dive. Make sure that no grain of sand or piece of hair is stuck in between the seal to make sure that water will not permeate the case and thus wet your camera in the process. To help combat any condensation, place a silica gel pack or two inside the camera case carefully making sure the camera will still work.

Don?t be afraid to experiment with your underwater digital camera by adding other lenses that may come with it. If you enjoy looking at things close up then you will need to fit a macro lens.

Make sure when you re-surface that you rinse off the camera full to make sure all the salt water is washed off the camera as crystals of salt can break the camera seals. Sometimes, small grains of sand gain access to the case and in this instance rinsing with water is the most preferable solution.
