Take several pictures of the same subject | Sealife DC250 instruction

5.Take several pictures of the same subject.

Use different distances and angles. (Allow about 10 seconds between shots for the flash to re-charge). Study and compare the good and bad pictures and you will soon be a master.

Never touch any sea creatures. Consult your dive master about approaching dangerous creatures or structures.

6.Use SeaLife Macro and Wide Angle Lenses for dramatic close-ups.

The SeaLife Macro and Wide Angle lenses allow you to get super close to your sub- ject for images full of colors and razor-sharp details. Each SeaLife macro lens has optical coatings for color correction (reduces the underwater bluish effect) and a neu- tral density coating to prevent over flashing.

With the 24mm wide-angle lens you fit a close group of 4 dive buddies or a 6-foot (180

Ecm) shark at a shooting distance of 6 feet (180 cm). Normally you would have to be 10 feet away, too far for a sharp picture. The following lenses are available at your local scuba dive dealer:

Lens description	Item #	Effective range
No Lens	N/A	2’ (60 cm) to infinity

Macro 3X lens/filter	SL951	22" to 36" (56 to 90 cm)

Macro 8X lens/filter	SL959 (set)	16" to 22" (40 to 56 cm)

Macro 16X lens/filter	SL959 (set)	8" to 11" (20 to 28 cm)

24 mm Wide angle lens	SL970	1’ (30 cm) to infinity
		Field of view about 50% larger.

The above distance only apply to digital camera. SeaLife film cameras will have different shooting distances.

The 8X and 16X Macro lenses are sold in a set that also includes the extendable and collapsible distance-measuring device “Macro Wand” (Set item # SL959)

7. Use the SeaLife External Flash to enhance color and brightness.

Water filters out light and red/yellow colors resulting in darker, bluer images. The only way to prevent this from occurring is by taking pictures at shallow depths (within 5’ depth on a sunny day) or by using artificial light, like the SeaLife External Flash.

The External Flash easily mounts to the bottom of the housing. The flexible arm allows you to direct the flash at the subject. Even two flashes can be mounted onto the housing for an evenly illuminated and shadow-free image. This system blocks the built-in flash and prevents backscatter. The flexible flash arms allow quick adjustments of the flash. An optional Flash Diffuser can be snapped onto the flash head and is highly recommended for close-up shots of bright, reflective subjects.
