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.
