About this manual
• This manual and specifications are subject to change without notice.
• Visit SeaLife-Cameras.com for updates to this manual.
Important
• Do not directly or indirectly expose the underwater housing to spray-
on sunscreens. Most spray-on sunscreens contain chemicals that
may react with polycarbonate and other plastics, causing cracks that
comprise the waterproof seal.
• Do not expose the underwater housing to extreme temperatures, or
direct sunlight for extended periods of time.
• Soak the sealed underwater housing in fresh water for 20 minutes
after each use. Push each button 20 times to flush out any trapped
salt or debris. Fully dry the housing with clean towel before opening.
• Do not attempt to service the underwater housing. Contact your local
authorized SeaLife dealer if the camera requires service.

VI. GREAT UNDERWATER PHOTOS AND VIDEOS MADE EASY
Clear water visibility
Clear water is essential for good results. Tiny particles floating in the
water cause low visibility and poor image quality. Avoid stirring up the sea
floor with your fins. Limit your shooting distance to 1/10 of the water
visibility. For example, if the visibility is 40ft (12m), you should keep your
shooting distance to within 4 feet (1.2m).
Keep close shooting distance
The ideal shooting distance is within 6ft (1.8m), and the closer the better.
The camera’s minimum focus range is 12” (30cm). Use the optional
Super Macro Lens (SL571) for closer underwater focus distance of 3.5” to
7” (9cm to 18cm), or the 10X Close-up Lens (SL572) for closer
underwater focus distance of 6” to 24” (15 to 60cm).
Move calmly and control your buoyancy
It is very hard to take good photos or videos when you are moving around
or buoyancy is not controlled. Look around for great picture opportunities.
First, position yourself at the best angle and neutralize your buoyancy.
Second, use the LCD monitor to perfectly frame your subject, check your
shooting distance and keep the camera steady. Third, be calm and
patient: Sometimes you have to wait a little bit so the fish that were
frightened away, come back. Don’t chase the fish, let the fish come to
you. Always observe safe‑diving rules.
Take several photos
You can always delete the bad shots later.
Avoiding blue photos and video
Water reduces light and filters out red/yellow colors resulting in darker,
bluer ambient lighting. There are two ways to restore the lost colors:
1) Use one or two SeaLife Sea Dragon underwater photo-video lights
(optional accessory) to enhance colors and photo/video quality.
2) When NOT using an underwater photo-video light, set the camera’s
White Balance setting to Underwater Deep or Underwater Shallow
depending on your depth. If you are using a photo-video light, set the
White Balance to Auto.
Visit the SeaLife website for updates and how-to tutorials
Any updates to the manual or additional tips and advice can be found on
the SeaLife website at www.sealife-cameras.com.
7. Ask your local SeaLife dive dealer about underwater photography
courses.
Most SeaLife dive dealers offer underwater photography courses which
includes hands-on training as well as many helpful tips and techniques to
underwater photography.
