Using and Cleaning the Camera Underwater

Entering the water with camera

1. Do not jump into the water with camera in your hand. Have someone hand you the camera after you have entered the water.

2. For tips on taking pictures, see “Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy”.

After using camera underwater

1. Before entering dive boat, hand the camera to someone on the boat.

2. Make sure the sealed camera is placed in a fresh water tank available on most dive boats. This will clean the salt water from the camera and prevents the salt water from drying on the camera and O-ring. Never let water dry on the camera. Salt crystals can damage the O-ring, lens and attract moisture. Dry camera with clean soft towel after removing from fresh water tank.

3. Do not expose camera to direct sunlight - keep in a shaded area or under a dry towel.

4. It is not recommended to open the waterproof door while on the dive boat. Allowing humid air to enter the camera may cause fogging.

5. If you must open the camera while on the dive boat, make sure you and the camera are perfectly dry before opening the waterproof door. Do not allow the inside of the camera to get wet.

Prepare camera for storage

1. Before storing the camera, remove batteries, SD card and keep in a clean dry area. Make sure the camera and any accessories are clean and dry before storage.

2. Never store camera in direct sunlight or in a dark damp area.

Note – To protect your camera from a build up of moisture, insert the desiccant capsule into the battery compartment during storage.

Great Underwater Pictures Made Easy

Taking underwater pictures is much different from taking land pictures. Here are the most important tips to taking great pictures underwater:

1. Crystal Clear water.

Crystal Clear water is essential for good underwater pictures. Remember the human eye can see more detail than a camera. In other words, your eyes see the water as being clearer than it actually is. Floating particles like algae, and silt cause low visibility. Avoid stirring up the sandy bottom with your fins. These floating particles cause small spots to appear in your picture, known as “backscatter”. Always remember to limit your shooting distance to 1/10 of the water visibility. For example, if the visibility is 60 feet (18 m), you should keep your shooting distance to within 6 feet (1.8m); in 30 feet (9m) visibility you should be no further than 3 feet (90 cm) away from your subject.

2. Stay within the ideal shooting distance of 2 to 6 feet.

The ideal shooting distance is between 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). This distance will result in detailed, colorful pictures. Remember that light does not travel very far underwater, so the closer you are to your subject the more colorful the pictures will be.

3. Move calmly and control your buoyancy before taking a picture.

It is very hard to take good pictures when you are moving. Look around for great picture opportunities. First position yourself at the best angle, and neutralize your buoyancy. Second, use the LCD monitor to perfectly frame your subject, check your shooting distance and keep the camera steady. Third, be calm and patient: Sometimes you have to wait a little bit so the fish that were frightened away, come back. Don’t chase the fish, let the fish come to you.

Always be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe all safe-diving rules.

4. Shoot many pictures of the same subject - If you don’t like it, delete it - later.

One of the great advantages of digital cameras is that you can review and delete pictures later, so shoot several pictures of the same subject. One of the best ways to learn underwater photography is from your good pictures and bad pictures.

5. Evaluate picture for proper exposure and adjust exposure compensation as needed.

Refer to section in this manual titled “Adjusting the Exposure” for more details.
