For all
our photos we used compact-digital CANON cameras
with artigianal
underwater case made for us by a japanese friend.
We ALWAYS use
ONLY internal flash, no big and expensive external
flash. We
prefer the confort of holding the camera with one hand
rather
than make perfect photo in ever situation.
These cameras use dedicated
batteries.
The autonomy
is very long, the top for cameras
of the
same type. Sometimes we
made more than 300
photos with only one battery, using always the
internal
flash and with the display on the back always on.
These cameras also use compact
flash cards CF or minidisk
as internal memory (until Canon G6),
or SD card (Canon G7, G9
and
G10). We
usually use 1 GB flash card CF and 2 GB SD card,
and this can enable us to store from
300 to 500 files, depending
on the model of the camera.
If we are on holiday for many
days of course we need a laptop
computer that we bring with us,
where we download the flash
cards after each dive or after a
full-day. It's very useful a PCMCIA
adapter where is possible to
insert the different cards directly
to the laptop, so we don't link
the cameras directly to the computer.
Instead, if we are on holiday
for a short time, or we have problem
with baggages, we use an
external hard-disk where is possible
to download many types of
flash cards, directly without using
a computer. Unfortunately the
model that we use don't have
a screen to view the photos.
And now some photos of our
equipment used in the last years.
