Uses regular 35mm film / ASA 200 recommended. The RC Photo Set is supplied in an unbreakable carrying case that is airtight, waterproof and floats. A top mounted sportsfinder makes picture taking easy underwater when wearing a dive mask. The camera features a three-element fully coated lens, automatic film advance and rewind. For shooting on land in dry conditions, the newly redesigned SeaLife compact inner 35mm camera can be removed and slipped into a shirt pocket. The SeaLife RC Photo Set includes SeaLife Macro 3X Close-up Lens / UW filter designed for shooting distances underwater from 2 to 4 ft / 60-120cm.
A built-in "coral" flash compensates for the bluish effect of the water. Designed for divers or snorkelers, the ReefMaster RC 35mm underwater camera is easy-to-use, just point and shoot. or can be used on land out of the SeaLife ReefMaster deep dive housing. Image detail and sharpness were middling for this camera's class, and we also saw some noticeable purple fringing in our shots.The SeaLife ReefMaster RC Photo Set SL511 includes everything you need to enjoy photographing your dive vacation! The fully automatic SeaLife RC 35 mm camera shoots underwater photos to 164 ft. Similarly, while our sunny outdoor shots were well exposed, pictures taken under less favorable lighting often suffered from blown-out highlights. However, in shallow water, the flash tended to blow out our subjects. We got better results with the white-balance presets, and using the flash underwater helped, too. The automatic white balance handles optimal, sunny conditions well but produces color shifts underwater, indoors, and in the shade. When it comes to image quality, the DC250 delivers mediocre results. The good news is that whether you're shooting underwater or on land, you'll barely notice the DC250's shutter lag, and its shot-to-shot time is a reasonable 4 seconds with or without the flash if you're not using the Quick Review mode. The best solution is probably to purchase the external strobe offered by SeaLife, but it costs almost $200. Forcing the flash on helped, but after the camera automatically powered down, the setting returned to the default Auto-even though we had switched off Return To Default.
With the housing back on the camera, we needed a flash to obtain proper exposure and accurate color even at 12 feet underwater however, the Auto flash setting didn't agree. There's an optical viewfinder on the camera, but it's small and provides a slightly distorted view. We were also disappointed with the LCD's performance under dim and indoor lighting, where it displays a noisy image with a slow refresh rate that creates a dragging effect. However, its poorly constructed sliding lens cover feels loose, and the control buttons lie flush with the camera's surface, so they're difficult to push. The camera itself has a compact 7.3-ounce design and is easy to use.
