Take tantalizing underwater photos and make your Instagram account the envy of many! You don’t even have to invest in a hefty sum for a waterproof camera or phone – just use your trusty iPhone.
Battling the Tides
The first thing you have to do is to protect your iPhone, so you have to buy a sturdy waterproof case. You should also a lifejacket case, so it won’t sink just in case you drop it.
Touchscreen Trouble
Your touchscreen will not work underwater even if just slightly submerged, since the water will exert pressure all over the screen. Rather, you should use the volume buttons on the sides of your phone.
Focus
Since you can’t use your touchscreen underwater, you won’t be able to set it to focus on your subject. Instead, change your camera settings to auto-focus and auto-exposure.
Practice
Don’t go into the ocean immediately if this is your first time taking underwater photos. Instead, practice in a pool first, or any other controlled environment. Only after you’re used to the craft should you take a crack at the ocean.
Taking underwater photos with your iPhone is a fun and engaging activity and all it takes is a little practice. Soon enough, you can post plenty of stunning images that you can share with friends and family.
