The SeaLife ReefMaster Mini Underwater Digital Camera is a compact dive camera for capturing high-quality images and video beneath the surface. Its 9MP CMOS sensor produces clear JPEG images and enables you to record 640x480 (VGA) AVI videos at 30fps. The camera has an impressive depth rating of 200' (60 m). It is equipped with a built-in 7.9mm (35mm equivalent: 45mm) f/3 lens. The included Mini Wide Angle Lens has 0.65X magnification for about a 35% wider field of view and a minimum shooting distance of 1' (0.3 m). The wide-angle lens enables you to get closer to your subject and fit more in the frame. This cuts down on the distortion caused by the water. The ReefMaster Mini has a 2.4" TFT color LCD monitor for framing and viewing playback.
The camera's red rubber grip pad offers a more secure hold, whether you're on land or underwater. Should you lose your grip despite this, the ReefMaster Mini's rubber-armored shell protects it against drops from as high as 6' (1.8 m). For controlling the camera, the 3 buttons are spread apart widely enough to make them easily accessible even if you're wearing gloves.
Select the best mode for the situation from several options. Land Auto mode is designed for above-the-surface shooting. Underwater, use Dive or Snorkel modes to control exposure and restore absorbed colors. The Ext Flash mode works with an optional external flash, such as the Digital Pro Flash (SL961), to enhance color and increase brightness beneath the water's surface. Spy Mode takes a continuous stream of photos at set intervals.
