V. Preparing your camera
Become familiar with how to operate your camera. Refer to your camera
instruction manual for information on how to adjust the settings
described in this manual. Here is the basic camera set-up for SeaLife and
most other popular digital cameras.
1. Insert blank memory card. It's good practice to regularly format
memory card, but be careful, because this will erase all images on
the card.
2. Make sure your camera battery(ies) are new or freshly charged
before each dive.
3. Set SeaLife digital cameras to External Flash mode
4. For Non-SeaLife camera's, do this:
a. Set ISO to 100 (or less if available) but not Auto.
b. Set White Balance to "DAYLIGHT" for better color.
c. Set camera's flash to FORCE ON.
d. Select the highest image resolution.
e. Some cameras offer manual shutter and aperture controls,
which is recommended for advanced photographers only.
5. Inspect and clean camera housing and main O-ring in accordance
with the camera/housing instructions.
6. Insert camera and seal the housing.
7. Take a test picture to make sure the camera's flash fires.
