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

Have you considered snorkeling in the Maldives in the past, so have you thought about what camera you should use when snorkeling? In fact, taking pictures is not only to show off, but also to keep your happiest joy and record the most beautiful moments when you see the scenery.

Pay attention to get the underwater camera at the first time. First, 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 off impurities near the battery box with a clean towel or lens cloth. If it is a rented camera, be sure to 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 fine sand, hair or unknown particles are stuck on the yellow sealing plastic sealing strip to ensure that the plastic sealing is smooth and free of sundries, and then close the battery compartment.

Be sure to turn on the machine switch button before starting. Never turn on or turn off the power under water, as this 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, then turn on the power button and enter the water. Fasten the camera's floating wrist strap before shooting. Even if the camera accidentally falls into the deep sea, 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 underwater mode (mode marked with small fish) for underwater shooting, because most of the red light is filtered out by seawater. If you don't use underwater mode, the photo will appear obviously blue. The underwater mode automatically supplements the red light, which makes the photo color reproduction higher and clearer.

After using the underwater camera and confirming that the camera battery cover is closed, put the camera in clean water for 20 minutes to dilute the salt, otherwise the salt particles will get stuck in the gap of the operation key, which will lead to the failure of the operation key. When using the battery, please make sure that the battery opening is facing down (it is very important to avoid water pouring into the battery compartment, which may lead to motherboard problems), wipe off the water droplets around the battery compartment with a rag, and then take the battery out 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 proceeding to the next operation.

Practical strategy 1, sun protection work should be done.

Be sure to protect yourself from the sun when snorkeling! Sunscreen is of course essential. However, the waterproof effect of sunscreen is still 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". Snorkeling suits also have many beautiful styles.

2. Keep the underwater photos stable.

Hold the camera steady, or the photos will shake easily. Zoom is not recommended when shooting fish and corals. The camera will shake and the photos will be blurred easily. Try to be close to the scene, and choose some layered scenes, such as corals, reefs, 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.

If you want to take beautiful underwater photos, you must remember to open your eyes. Only when you open your eyes can you 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. A slightly inclined front view can ensure that the face of the person being photographed is clear. Be sure to shoot farther, or you can only shoot funny heads when shooting big-headed dolls. When you bite the breathing tube, your face is deformed. So if you can, hold your breath, take off your breathing tube and show a pout or a playful smile.

Be sure to pay attention to the light, any underwater activities, if you want to take good-looking photos, be sure to pay attention to the light. Draw a key point, light is the first element for Xiaobai to take a good photo! Plenty of light will make your photos clearer and brighter, but if there is not enough light, it will become blurred and dim. Snorkeling, it is recommended to play in a sunny afternoon, with good sunlight penetration, which is very helpful for snorkeling visual experience and shooting experience. Don't rush to snorkel and take pictures when the weather is bad just after the rain.

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

The unique underwater mode of TG-4 can capture and restore the brightness of underwater ecological landscape and automatically optimize the cool color, which is called Zhazha.

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

Underwater optimization 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, the imaging is more realistic in 3D, and the photos taken in this mode have color values beyond the normal range.

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