GENERAL SHOUTING TIPS
1. Best results will be obtained with natural light if the sun is directly overhead during calm water
periods.
2. Placing the sun behind your shoulder during shooting will produce the best colors.
3. Wide angle is the preferred focus setting for best results with subject, as close as possible to the
housing. This will reduce the water column and the amount of particles between subject and lens.
4. In PHOTO mode, images are going to be larger than those taken in CAMERA mode. This is due
to the fact that the camera uses more recordable surface of the CCD size and results in vignetting.
For good digital pictures, zoom in a bit to clear lens shade edges.
5. Zooming during shooting is not recommended unless absolutely necessary as telephoto will
magnify particles. Swimming toward subject is a much more visually pleasing filming method.
6. Use image stabilizer if available on your camera when filming macro to minimize camera
movement during high magnification. Image stabilizer is not as critical while using wide angle and
will use battery power unnecessarily.
7. Buoyancy control is one of the most important aspects of underwater videography and diving in
general. Avoid disturbing bottom silt and contacting delicate reef structures. Work on controlling your
breathing and your buoyancy. Your video will be much more visually appealing. You are trying to
make yourself a steady shooting platform. The less movement you make , the better your video will
be. Work on attaining a comfort zone underwater. The more comfortable you are underwater, the
more controlled your breathing will be and the steadier your video will be.
8. In low light situations, add light with optional Amphibico video lights for brighter and more vibrant
colors. As light level falls so does color saturation. Lights will also provide necessary fill during
daylight shooting. If this technique is used, filtration of light using a color correction filter will be
necessary for accurate color rendition.
