This Intova IC12 Underwater Digital Camera is really a kit that includes a 12.0 megapixel digital camera and an underwater housing. With this kit, you can take photographs as you explore the ocean world both above and below the surface. This easy-to-use camera is good to depths down to 180' (54.86m). 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 2.5" LCD display. This makes composing your photos a breeze.
The camera incorporates a 3x optical zoom lens and a capture resolution of 12 megapixels to provide beautiful images. The Fujitsu digital signal processor allows for fast processing speed, so you don't miss that fast-moving fish. Plus, the camera is loaded with features to make your shooting easy and fun. A selection of shooting modes built into the camera covers many common shooting situations including portraits, night portraits, night scene, candlelight, fireworks, text, sunset, sunrise, splash water, snow, beach and pet modes. Users are therefore ready to take perfect shots with a minimum of fuss and effort.
Other features include face detection, which tracks faces and automatically focuses and optimizes exposure for sharp, brilliant portrait pictures. Digital anti-shake captures sharp blur-free images. The camera has 32MB internal memory (10MB available for image storage), but accepts SD/SDHC memory cards to expand the camera's memory capacity to up to 16GB. You can also shoot HD video with this camera. The camera is powered by a Lithium-ion battery that is rechargeable through the USB port.
The camera flash can be used to take underwater photos, but an external strobe is recommended to improve color and reduce the illumination of particles suspended in the water. The Intova Slave Strobe is the perfect flash to use with this camera. The camera housing allows access to all camera functions.
