Waterproof SLR Camera Cover
The only people I have seen use proper underwater digital cameras are marine botanists and other scientific personnel The cost of underwater digital cameras is usually to prohibitive for just keen amateurs to afford so it is left for serious scientists to use this piece of modern day technology You see there are very few genuine underwater digital cameras as it is such a specialized area
Buying one of those underwater digital cameras isn’t really likely but you could buy one of the cheaper options if you are only going below the surface for a short while and not to deep.
You see, water pressure is the real problem for these cameras as well as water leaks The closest electronics has ever got to producing underwater digital cameras are producing underwater casings for digital cameras. As a make-do, it woks quite well; converting an ordinary digital camera into an underwater camera.
advised to take note of a few facts which should help produce better results.
Light distorts or diffuses underwater an effect that is made worse at greater depth. Owing to the waters diffusing action, all images end up darker than a normal photo out of the water but this can be avoided if a few simple settings on the cameras white balance facility are adjusted. Another thing you will notice is that underwater images always look as though the zoom has been used. To ensure the correct image will be taken you will have to pay a little more attention to the shot you are taking.
It is not uncommon for waterproof case to spring a leak so before you go on your dive, check that the camera I still watertight by submerging it for a couple of seconds. 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. Lenses that allow you to get really close to the subject can also normally be fitted jus ask if the camera has a macro facility.
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. In particular where sand is present then a stream of water to rinse it off is best.
