1. Preface
A camera in an underwater housing offers a lot of advantages to the profes-
sional and amateur underwater photographer:
impeccable exposure due to the use of the most modern exposure
techniques of the camera;
direct view on the subject, very short reaction time and swift image
processing;
exact and swift focusing due to the autofocus objective;
parallax faults no longer exist because one looks through the objective
(all settings are displayed on the LCD-screen);as the camera can also
be used on land, a second camera is not needed.
As housings and flashes have a long lifetime and are quite expensive, some
time should be invested in looking around to find the right equipment. Do-
ing this in cooperation with a professional salesman is probably the best
solution.
Different criteria determine the final choice of the camera:
recording technique (viewfinder, controls, …);
functionality and comfort (design of the housing, control switches and
their ergonomical position, …);
price.
Also: some elements that determine ones choice when buying a safari
camera are not important at all when purchasing a camera for “underwater”
use. Cameras are always designed for “on land” use. Therefore HUGYFOT
always designs its housings from the divers’ ergonomical point of view and
translates this through the controls.
