Angle of Coverage
The wide angle lens will increase the camera lens angle of coverage up
to 50%. As a general rule, you can fit a 5’ (1.5m) wide object into the
picture frame at about 5’ (1.5m) shooting distance.
Quick tips from the pro
1) Be patient, calm, and approach subject slowly. Most fish will be
frightened and swim away from you. Don’t chase fish. Let them
come to you.
2) Be observant. Study coral heads closely for sealife. You will be
amazed at the abundance of sealife that dwells within a small area.
3) Be creative and experiment with a variety of photo and video
opportunities.
4) Make sure the wide angle lens is completely seated onto housing
lens port.
5) Use two external flashes to avoid shadowing and to achieve the best
color. This also results in interesting color effects with translucent
subjects.
6) Visually inspect the lens before during and after the dive to make
sure no air is trapped between the lens and the camera. If air is
trapped between lens and camera, remove lens while underwater
and “burp” out the air.
