XIII. Great pictures made easy
There are plenty of challenges that photographers face in the
underwater world. Please take some time to review SeaLife’s
online guide called Great Pictures Made Easy by visiting www.
sealife-cameras.com. The guide is located under the Technical
Support menu. The following information summarizes the basic
principles of underwater photography.
Crystal clear water
Clear water is essential
for good underwater
pictures. Low visibility,
caused by fine particles
suspended in the water,
will diminish the picture
and video quality. As a
general rule, limit your
shooting distance to 1/10
of the water visibility. For
example, if the visibility is
20 ft, limit your shooting
distance to 2 ft. Try to
keep the light as far away from the camera lens as possible to
minimize backscatter.
