What camera is used for diving camera equipment?

Nowadays, underwater photography has become a favorite shooting activity for many people. After the rise of diving activities, many people began to take pictures while diving. So what are the equipment for diving and taking pictures? Do you have any good recommendations for diving cameras?

Special diving camera Special diving camera, such as Canon d20, Olympus, Sony, etc. There are also special diving cameras, which are not expensive, ranging from 1000 to 3000, and can also be used as a normal card machine to take pictures. This way is the most worry-free and labor-saving, and the effect is good. If you don't want to buy it, you can rent it on a treasure. If it's just snorkeling, I recommend this camera. Its disadvantage is that the diving depth is average, only 10~20 meters. If it is deep, it may damage the camera, so it is not suitable for deep diving, but it is no problem to experience diving.

Camera waterproof shell If you already have a very handy camera to use on shore, the first thing you should consider is to equip your camera with a waterproof shell of the corresponding model. The waterproof covers sold in the market now mainly correspond to three types of cameras, namely card machine, micro-single camera and SLR camera.

The mainstream material of waterproof shell of camera is transparent resin or aluminum. Resin waterproof shell is relatively cheap, and aluminum is much more expensive, but its advantages are more durable and better sealing performance. Personally, I recommend you to use aluminum waterproof shell.

Some high-quality waterproof shell products are also equipped with a vacuum waterproof alarm device, which will immediately warn the photographer if there is water seepage or water leakage when shooting in water. At present, this warning method has become an indispensable function of waterproof shell products.

Waterproof lens covers Various lens covers can be installed on the upper shell of the camera, but these depend on what kind of lens you want to use. There are three kinds of lenses commonly used in underwater shooting, namely wide-angle lens, macro lens and fisheye lens. Lens covers are generally divided into flat lens covers and circular lens covers.

The flat lens cover is specially designed for macro lenses. It looks like a cylinder with a flat circular lens at the bottom, and it is connected with the waterproof shell of the camera through an embedded or threaded bayonet.

The round waterproof cover is specially designed for wide-angle lenses and fisheye lenses. Materials are divided into acrylic and glass. Acrylic is soft and easy to form scratches on the surface during use, but the price is relatively cheap, which is the choice of many entry photographers.

Underwater flash Many people who play photography know that it is very important to fill the light when taking pictures on the shore. Similarly, water photography is also essential to fill the light, and the function of underwater flash is to fill the light when the light is insufficient. When decoloring, you can use a flash to correct the color; When the contrast is large, you can also use a flash to reduce the contrast. So if you want to take good-looking photos underwater, you must be equipped with an underwater flash or use a diving flashlight to fill the light.
