How to use underwater camera for snorkeling in Maldives? What underwater camera is used for snorkeling?

Have you ever considered snorkeling in Maldives before, so have you ever thought about what camera you should use when snorkeling? In fact, taking pictures is not only to show off, but also to keep my happiest pleasure and record the most beautiful moments when I look at the scenery.

pay attention to

When you first get the underwater camera, carefully check whether the switch on the battery cover is turned off. When taking out the battery, make sure that the cover of the battery compartment is facing down to prevent water droplets from flowing back into the battery compartment. Carefully wipe the impurities near the battery box with a clean towel or lens cloth. If you rent a camera, you must carefully check whether the plastic packaging of the camera battery compartment is intact, and try not to touch the plastic packaging of the battery compartment. And pay attention to whether there is fine sand, hair or unknown particles stuck on the yellow plastic sealing strip to ensure that the plastic sealing strip is smooth and free of sundries, and then close the battery compartment.

Be sure to turn on the switch button of the machine before launching, and never turn it on or off underwater, which will make water enter the motherboard through the power switch button. If you don't operate underwater for a long time, the underwater camera will automatically turn off. Please float to the surface and turn on the power button to enter the water. Fasten the wrist strap hung by the camera before shooting. Even if the camera accidentally falls into the deep sea due to waves, it can ensure that the camera floats from the water to the surface. Please hold the plastic anti-slip area of the underwater camera when shooting. Please use the underwater mode (the mode marked with small fish) for underwater shooting, because the sea water filters out most of the red light. If you don't use underwater mode, the photo will appear obviously blue. Underwater mode automatically fills the red light, and the photo color reproduction degree is higher and clearer.

After using the underwater camera, after confirming that the camera battery cover is closed, soak the camera in clear water for 20 minutes to dilute the salt, otherwise the salt particles will get stuck in the gap of the operation key, resulting in the failure of the operation key. When taking the battery, please make sure that the battery opening is facing down (it is very important to prevent water from flowing back into the battery compartment, even a little water may cause problems with the motherboard). Wipe the water drops around the battery box with a rag, and then take out the battery with the opening facing down. After taking out the battery, don't close the battery box in a hurry, let the battery box open downwards, and air dry for a while before the next operation.

: practical strategy

1. Do enough sun protection.

Be sure to protect yourself from the sun when snorkeling! Sunscreen is of course essential. However, the waterproof effect of sunscreen is not as good as that of physical sunscreen, so snorkeling clothes with sunscreen effect must be available. Don't worry about the dark diving suit affecting your "face value". There are many beautiful styles of diving suits.

2. Keep underwater photography stable.

Hold the camera steady, or the photo will be blurred easily. It is not recommended to zoom in when shooting fish and coral, because the camera will shake and the picture will be blurred easily. Try to be close to the scene, and choose some layered scenes, such as corals and reefs as the base, small fish swimming in front and blue sea water as the background, so that the photos taken will be very stereoscopic and super beautiful.

3. Pay attention to the choice of underwater shooting angle and shape.

When you want to take beautiful underwater photos, be sure to open your eyes. Open your eyes to have an aura! Girls' long hair had better be combed up, otherwise it will be messy. When shooting people, I suggest you shoot from the bottom up. The inclined elevation angle can ensure that the photographer's face is clear. Be sure to shoot it from a long distance, or it will be funny to shoot it as a big-headed doll. When you bite the breathing tube, your face is deformed. So if you can, you might as well hold your breath, take off your breathing tube and show a pout or a playful and charming expression.

Pay attention to the light Any underwater activity, if you want to take good photos, you must pay attention to the light. To be clear, light is the first factor for Xiaobai to take a good photo! Plenty of light will make your photos clearer and brighter, but if there is not enough light,

4. Use the camera's own underwater mode skillfully.

TG-4' s unique underwater mode can capture and restore the vividness of underwater ecological scenery, and automatically optimize the cool color, which is called "no matter how you shoot".

Macro photography: it is especially suitable for photographing corals, and can capture all the details of the photographed creatures at close range.

Optimize underwater mode: This mode can be used for routine shooting, commonly known as fool mode.

HDR underwater mode: If you like the tone effect of HDR, you can also switch to HDR underwater mode.

High dynamic lighting rendering: In fact, 3D imaging is more realistic. The color value of photos taken in this mode is beyond the normal range.

What camera?

At present, the best underwater camera is Olympus TG4, which has the highest pixels and brighter colors. You can rent it in Hainiao Nest, and there are physical stores in Shanghai and Beijing.
