Dispatched in 5 to 7 days
The SeaLife Micro 3.0 Camera is the latest and third generation of the popular permanently-sealed Micro camera series. The camera is leak-proof with no O-rings to lube or maintain, so there is never a worry about flooding the camera.
Like its forerunners, the Micro 3.0 features an ergonomic, compact design with easy-to-use controls and menus.
The SeaLife Micro 3.0 Camera offers impressive still images with its large SONY® 16MP CMOS sensor and vibrant 4K Ultra HD video.
You can even shoot 8MP stills while you’re recording video. Since it’s permanently sealed, the Micro 3.0 has a large 3-plus hour battery good for a full day of diving and built-in 64gb of memory to store thousands of photos and hours of video.
For the most brilliant and vivid results, you can pair the Micro 3.0 with Sea Dragon Photo/Video Lights (the Micro 3.0 does not use a flash or strobe).
Easy to use underwater camera
The Micro 3.0 Camera’s ease of use starts with the three wide “Piano key” buttons that are easy to locate and control, even with dive gloves. The intuitive Micro 3.0’s Easy Setup feature quickly guides you through the correct settings based on the shooting environment, depth and lighting accessories used.
Micro 3.0 users can fine-tune their underwater images with a new manual white balance adjustment and capture images in RAW format for those who want to edit their images later.
The built-in wide-angle 100° lens lets the diver get close to the subjects while keeping everything in the picture.
Lighting is easy; use the Micro 3.0 with Sea Dragon underwater LED photo/video lights (or other constant LED light sources). There’s no flash or cable to sync to an external strobe. Simply turn your light on and adjust the intensity based on the subject, conditions and distance.
The SeaLife Micro 3.0 Camera offers WiFi sharing ability, so you can wirelessly preview, download and share pictures & videos to a smartphone or tablet with the free SeaLife Micro 3+ app available at Google Play or Apple App stores.
The large 260K high-resolution 2.4” TFT colour LCD display makes capturing and reviewing photos and video easy on the small camera.
