Shooting great underwater photos is not really hard if you get yourself the right digital camera. There are unique cameras which are specially designed to suit the underwater environment.

If you intend to improve your underwater photography, you are advised to select a good quality water proof digital camera. If you are not very sure whether the camera you intend to buy is rated as waterproof or not, you are suggested to find out more information from the websites of the manufacturers first before making your decision. In order to save your time searching, I am here to share with you one of the best manufacturers producing underwater compacts - Canon.

Canon PowerShot D10 is Canon's first waterproof digital compact. This model has a 12.1MP sensor and 3x optical zoom. It has 4 special features, i.e. waterproof, freeze proof, shockproof as well as dust proof. Although it is specially designed to be used in the water, this model can be used on land. It works very well during winter.

Seriously ...
... speaking, the underwater photography lovers are able to capture great underwater pictures with this model as it is claimed to be waterproof up to 10 meters. This model is well equipped with big and clearly labeled display and menu buttons which allow the users to see and use the camera when they are underwater.

If you mainly use the camera in the water, you are advised to select the underwater scene mode for better results. In order to keep the water looking blue, you are advised to set the "White Balance". You should choose "Daylight" in the shallow water and "Cloudy" for deep water. On the other hand, if you are taking the pictures of small underwater creatures, you are recommended to use Macro Mode in order to produce clear pictures.

By using the model recommended above, you will be able to enhance your underwater photography successfully.
