Move calmly and control your buoyancy before taking a
picture
It’s hard to take good pictures when you are moving. Position yourself at
the best shooting angle and neutralize your buoyancy. Be calm and
patient: Sometimes you have to wait so the fish that were frightened
away come back. Don’t chase the fish, let the fish come to you. Always
be in control of your buoyancy before taking pictures and observe all
safe diving rules. Shoot many pictures of the same subject - if you don’t
like it, delete it later.
Use one or two underwater photo-video light to
enhance color and brightness
Water filters out light and red/yellow colors resulting in blue images. The
Dive and Snorkel modes will correct for lost colors, which is effective to
about 60ft/18m depth, depending on available sunlight and water
visibility.
The most effective way to compensate for lost colors is by using an
underwater light specifically designed for photography and video.
SeaLife makes a variety of underwater photo-video lights (under Sea
Dragon name) that easily mounts to the bottom of the camera. The Flex-
Connect system of trays, grips, flexible arms and adapters can click
together and apart in seconds without tools, for compact travel. Two
lights can be mounted to the camera for wide angle illumination. Visit
