2. Great Pictures Made Easy
Without and …………………….with Fisheye Lens
The secret to taking bright and colorful underwater
pictures is to get close to the subject. The fisheye
wide angle lens creates a super wide angle effect that
allows you to get closer to the subject and still fit
everything in the picture. In addition to increasing
field of view, the fisheye lens will help you shoot
better, steadier video by dampening movement. You
will also be able to take super macro pictures with
increased depth of field.

3. Attach Lens Dock
Screw Lens Dock on to bottom of flash tray

4. Attach Retaining Lanyard
To prevent dropping or losing the lens, attach the
lens retaining lanyard to the camera as shown. When
the lens is not being used, slide it in to Lens Dock to
secure and protect lens.

5. Attach Lens to Camera
Push lens onto lens port of any SeaLife “DC”-series
underwater camera. Lens can be attached on land or
underwater. When entering the water, make sure to
remove air bubbles trapped under the lens - There
should be water between the lens and the camera.

Important: The camera’s focus setting must be set to
“Macro Focus” or “Super Macro Focus” or the
resulting picture/video will not be in focus.

6. Lens Care
