Occupation, but also a rather difficult task. To get high-quality images
You need serious experience and a good camera for underwater photography. From
The right choice of technology largely depends on the quality of future photographs.
The water environment has its own specific features that impose special requirements for phototechnics, since the liquid absorbs "warm" shades directly in proportion to the distance to the subject. Therefore, the further the photographer is from the object to be photographed, the less "warm" colors, for example, red and yellow, will appear in the photograph.

When choosing a camera for shooting underwater, it is necessary to remember the presence of
Flash, since with depth the illumination is significantly reduced. Those colors,
Which are absorbed by the water column, only this device can be restored. Therefore, first of all you should choose a quality lens and flash.

A good camera for underwater photography should have a wide
Shooting landscapes and inhabitants. Modern amphibian devices are being developed
Especially for these purposes. They are equipped with a large number of attachments and
Accessories, are convenient and easy to use. Most devices
For shooting is able to function at sufficiently large depths.

The only drawback of this technique is a very high price. But for those who seriously enjoys diving, a high-quality camera for underwater shooting is an absolute necessity. Those who dive under the water only occasionally, can choose a special protective box or cover that can be used for a conventional camera.

Such accessories are presented today by two varieties - "bags" of PVC and protective plastic boxes. Plastic cases can be used for several devices, since they are not rigidly attached to a specific model of the camera.

Built-in memory of 2GB, a connector for memory cards, LED-backlight and a manometer will certainly be useful for shooting underwater. Double sealing and special coating with anodized aluminum will protect the technician from any external influences.

High-quality devices of the world's leading phototechnics manufacturers are equipped with liquid crystal displays from HyperCrystal technologies, which allows the owner of such a device to evaluate the captured image in full.

The user's manual, built into the camera for underwater shooting, makes the management of the equipment comfortable and understandable. "Tracking" autofocus constantly keeps the subject in focus, tracking its movements. The camera remembers the position of the subject to be shot, and even if it goes beyond the frame, the tracking continues on return.
