Videos shot by the GH5 are extremely sharp and don’t suffer from pixel dumping at all. (A similar model to the GH5 exists: the newer Lumix GH5S which has higher pixelation but no image stabilisation, making it poorly suited for underwater videographers – so choose the GH5, which we’re reviewing here).Īnother reason this mirrorless camera has superb video resolution is because of its full sensor width 4k which can shoot up to a whopping 60 frames per second (!) 4k video with internal 4:2 2 10 bit 4K video recording and subsequently captures some truly flawless slow motion videos as well. The GH5s’ incredible 5 axis dual image stabilization corrects all lenses to eliminate blur and body and lens shake, both effectively and seamlessly. Image stabilization is a particularly crucial feature for anyone shooting video underwater but not all image stabilization is equal!
One of the reasons it performs so well underwater is because it is equipped with a wide arsenal of relevant performance enhancing features including white balance metering, autofocusing and image stabilization. The underwater colour correction setting has three modes (shallow, deep and green) and automatically adjusts white balance in order to correct underwater colours that would otherwise appear increasingly blueish or greenish as you get deeper.Īlthough you can manually adjust white balance yourself, you need to know a fair bit about underwater lighting, to do it effectively so having a feature that automatically does it is makes the Sealife Micro 3.0 a superb option for for beginners.Īlthough it’s expensive, the Panasonic Lumix GH5 lives up to it’s stellar reputation being a high quality, reliable and well equipped underwater camera – especially for shooting videos with having been designed “for video first and stills second”. and are located right next to the high resolution display which is at 2.4 inches is a very decent size, making shots easy to frame.
The intuitive user interface is operated via three large piano key buttons that are easy to operate even with thick gloves. It is permanently sealed within it’s 200ft / 60m waterproof housing which is shockproof and has rubber grips to make it easier to hold. The Sealife Micro 3.0 is the best underwater camera for beginners thanks to its simple user interface, ergonomic design, all round functionality and automatic underwater colour correction setting.
