In order to compensate for this, a weight can be mounted to the set which makes it nearly neutral. With external strobes, the unit becomes positive. The camera and underwater housing are negatively buoyant. The housing is pleasantly firm and can withstand a few bumps. The housing was tested to a depth of 60 meters, which is 20 meters more than the average depth for underwater housings for compact cameras. The underwater housing is made of polycarbonate with a black rubber mold. Shutter speed in underwater mode is 1/60 to 1/1500 when an external flash is used, 1/60 to 1/500.
The eight white balance functions for above water can be used underwater too, including a manual white balance. What's most special about this camera is its four color correction filters that can to be used underwater - two for blue water and two for green water. Focusing is possible from a distance of 5cm. SD and SDHC memory cards are used in the camera. The battery lasted for 3 dives of one hour each in the warm waters of the Philippines (28 degrees Celsius). The claimed battery life is 2+ hours or 200+ pictures. The camera works on a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. The zoom lens has a range of 37-185mm (5x optical zoom). The SeaLife DC1000 is a 10 megapixel compact camera with a 6.9 cm LCD screen. To minimize this risk, SeaLife uses an O-ring that should not be greased. Also noteworthy is that SeaLife realized that it's easy to make a mistake and flood your camera by greasing and replacing the O-ring. In this digital era, SeaLife has developed special software with which its cameras stand out from the crowd of regular brands of compact cameras. The motto of the American company SeaLife is to design user-friendly cameras that every diver can use right away.
