With the Sealife DC600 6.1 mega-pixel digital camera you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the water. This easy to use camera is good to depths of up to 200' (60 m). Of course it is also ideal for taking worry-free pictures in the rain, at the beach, or on the ski slopes.
The camera features a large 2.5" LCD screen. This allows easier viewing underwater and reviewing of images. When shooting underwater without flash the camera has two Sea Mode underwater white balance settings. One is for above 25' (7.62 m) and one for below 25' (7.62 m). With the Spy mode feature you could set the camera to automatically take photos every 10, 30 seconds or 1, 5 minutes. By setting this up on a tripod and swimming away you could photograph very shy creatures.
The camera housing allows access to power, shutter, zoom, LCD, menu, mode, 4 navigation buttons, OK and delete functions underwater. The sure fire flash connection system holds your fiber optic cable in the prefect position so the flash will fire every time. The camera is part of a system that will nurture your creativity and allow expansion of your underwater photography skills.
