Ikelite 6870.40 for Canon EOS 40D Webcam User Manual


 
General Tips
1. You should completely assemble and test your set-up in a
swimming pool before using it in open water.
2. It is a good idea to start each photo dive with a fully charged
battery(s) in the camera and strobes.
3. As soon as you enter the water, take a moment and check the
housing to see that it is properly sealed.
4. Next, check to see if there are any bubbles on the face of the
port. If there are, take your finger and remove them. If there
are bubbles on the lens port they can produce soft focus spots
in your photographs.
5. Set Image Resolution to the Highest JPG format available or
RAW. Higher resolution settings are required for printing. High
resolution images can easily be reduced in size with software
and retain their original quality. A Low resolution image can be
enlarged with software but much of the quality will be lost.
6. Digital images are usually transferred to the computer where
their appearance can be fine tuned. Many of the image
manipulation programs make you think you can magically
correct any image taken and make a good picture. One thing to
be aware of is that if an image is overexposed that some of the
color information in the file is missing. If the color is missing
you cannot adjust it. If images are underexposed the color and
detail may be there, it is just dark, and you can adjust it to some
degree. So if you error in exposure it is better to have the image
slightly underexposed than overexposed.
