Adjusting camera settings

For SeaLife digital cameras, set the camera to External Flash mode. For more details refer to your SeaLife camera instruction manual.

For non-SeaLife cameras, set-up the digital exposure settings as rec- ommended here.

ISO Choose and set an ISO appropriate to the conditions you expect on your dive. The deeper you go means less light. You can adjust for this by adjusting the sensitivity of your camera’s sensor (ISO).
