SeaLife SL512 Overview

Capture clear images below the surface with the 64GB Micro 2.0 Underwater Digital Camera from SeaLife. This compact, waterproof point-and-shoot has a depth rating of 200'. It is permanently sealed, having no watertight doors and no o-rings to maintain, and is protected by a rubber-armored, shock-resistant body. The camera features a 16MP, 1/2.3" Sony CMOS image sensor for sharp, detailed photos and full HD 1296/30p or 1080/30/60p video.

The Micro 2.0 is also equipped with a wide-angle fisheye lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 20mm, a 130° angle of view, and a fairly fast f/2.8 aperture, enabling you to fit a lot in-frame and capture effective low-light shots with shallow depth of field. Additionally, it is configured with 64GB of internal memory and runs on an internal lithium-ion battery.

Compose your shots on the Micro 2.0's 2.4" TFT color LCD monitor. Benefit from 3 underwater scene modes, as well as a land mode for out-of-water use. The camera is also capable of time-lapse shooting, enabling you to take images at set intervals to see change over a period of time. With the Picture in Video feature, you can capture still images while recording Full HD video. The camera also features Wi-Fi for previewing, downloading, and transferring images to your smart device with the free SeaLife app.

Waterproofing and Durability
Features a depth rating of 200' and is permanently sealed, so there are no watertight doors and no o-rings to maintain. Additionally, it's protected by a fully rubber-armored, shock-resistant body to safeguard against small drops and bumps.
16MP CMOS Image Sensor
The 1/2.3" Sony CMOS sensor features a resolution of 16MP. Benefit from sharp still image capture and continuous shooting at up to 5 fps in Burst mode, as well as full HD 1080p video at 60 and 30 fps in MPEG-4 / H.264 format. The camera can record video at a maximum resolution of 1296p at 30fps, which is compatible with Apple QuickTime, DivX Plus, YouTube, iPad/iPhone, Android phones/tablets, and select other media players. ISO sensitivity ranges from 100-800.
Wide-Angle Lens
A wide-angle fisheye lens with a 35mm-equivalent focal length of 20mm and a 130° angle of view lets you get close to subjects while maintaining broad coverage. Apparent angle of view is reduced underwater to 80-100°, which fortunately still provides ample coverage. Catch that magnificent humpback whale or school of fish swimming by, or capture a wide expanse of a coral reef to show the diversity of colors and types. The fairly fast f/2.8 aperture lets you take effective low-light shots with shallow depth of field, while automatic correction of barrel distortion helps restore proper shape and perspective to images.
Display
Frame your shots on the Micro 2.0 camera's 2.4" TFT color LCD monitor, which features a resolution of 480 x 234.
Controls and Handling
Compact, lightweight design affords easy handling and travel. Soft, textured rubber grip for a secure hold, even when wearing diving gloves.
Shooting Modes
Push and hold menu button to activate Shortcut mode, which lets you quickly access a specified menu setting. The easy set-up mode brings up an on-screen guide with no complicated menus, so you can simply start shooting. Four scene modes are pre-programmed and ready to go at a moment's notice:
  • Land mode for out-of-water images
  • Dive mode for automatic exposure control and color correction in deeper water
  • Snorkel mode for automatic exposure control and color correction while snorkeling or diving in shallow water
  • Light mode for underwater pictures and videos with optional Sea Dragon LED Photo-Video light. In this mode, white balance and exposure are calibrated to suit the Sea Dragon light
Picture in Video mode lets you capture still photos while recording full HD video. Additionally, Upside-down shooting mode saves photos and movies in the proper orientation even when the camera is positioned bottom-up.
Built-in Digital Color-Correction Filters
Three integrated filters offer optimal color correction in different types, depths, and/or temperatures of water: UW Deep filter is designed for deeper tropical, blue/cyan water, while UW Green is best suited to colder, green/emerald water and UW Shallow is right at home in tropical, blue/cyan water closer to surface.
Time-Lapse
Program the camera to capture images at set time intervals within a designated window, so they can be combined into a video to show change over time. The series can be saved as a video file or a progression of still photos.
Wi-Fi Connectivity
Wirelessly preview, download, and share pictures and videos to your smartphone or tablet with the free SeaLife app.
Memory
Configured with 64GB of internal memory for over 25,000 still images or 12 hours of full HD video--with no card required.
Power
Runs on an internal lithium-ion battery with a 2350mAh capacity, 3.7V of output power, and a rating of 8.7Wh. Alternatively, when shooting out of the water, you can hook the camera up to the included external power supply for long-term, uninterrupted shooting. The power cord is equipped with a standard North American plug, and the supplied international adapters enable use in Europe, the UK, and Australia, as well.
Mounting and Lighting
Standard 1/4"-20 tripod thread for connection to camera tray or tripod/monopod. Tray offers attachment points for optional grips and arms that support photo-video lights.
