Sealife DC1000 Maxx Kit Underwater Digital Camera
-
Discontinued
With the Sealife DC1000 Maxx Kit you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the water. This easy to use 10.0 Mega-pixel 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 2.7" LCD screen. This allows precise framing underwater. When shooting underwater without flash the camera has 4 underwater white balance settings. One is for blue ocean water less than 25' (8m). The second is for blue ocean water deeper than 25' (8m). The third is for green water less than 25' (8m)and the last for green water deeper than 25' (8m) . With the Spy mode feature you can set the camera to automatically take photos in ten second, thirty second, one minute, or five minute intervals. By setting this up on a tripod and swimming away you can photograph very shy creatures.
The camera housing allows access to all camera functions underwater. The sure fire flash connection system holds your fiber optic cable in the perfect 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.
The kit includes two Sealife SL961 external strobe. Dual strobes eliminate shadows by illuminating the subject from both sides. Since water absorbs the red and yellow light spectrum resulting in blue pictures, you need a flash to bring out the intense colors of the underwater world. It also reduces the backscatter problem that normally will occur when using a camera with a built-in flash.
When using the Auto Mode Setting, the strobe automatically adjusts the brightness for optimal image exposure. You can also shoot in manual mode. The strobe features variable flash control enabling you to dial the flash power up or down for better image exposure. Also included is a flexible, rubberized arm for easy aiming and a sure grip. This will allow you to position the flash for the best possible lighting.
One of the most important secrets to quality underwater photography is to to be as close to your subject as possible. For large subjects the included Sealife Wide-Angle Lens is extremely important. It will increase your field of view by 50%. You will be able to capture that 5' shark from 5' away or fit a group of divers into one frame. You can get as close as 12" to your subject to insure bright colorful pictures.
