Underwater Camera For Macro Photography

This accessory was very helpful for macro photography. Not usable underwater, though.

I use it for underwater photography.

Underwater photography with my GoPro

This is a great addition for my TG-5 Camera. It allows for more light to give my macro shots greater background detail. This Macro Ring should not be confused with the FD-1 Flash Diffuser. They function very differently. This Ring uses the built in LED of the camera to add additional lumination to your image. The FD-1 uses the built in Flash for additional illumination. The difference bewtween them is the Macro Ring allows for more detail in the surrounding area of your primary image while the FD-2 illuminates the entire area gving less background details. If you like to experiment with Macro Photography with your TG-4 or TG-5 I suggest you get both. A last point, the LG-1 Macro Ring is not meant for underwater photography but the FD-2 is. Here is a direct statement from Olympus: "Please Note: Although the LG-1 can be left on the camera when underwater, it is not recommended as an underwater lighting accessory as the results would not be desirable. The FD-1 may also be used underwater"

Exactly what I needed for underwater photography

I would highly recommend this camera. I am using it for underwater photography. I love the power this camera in a smaller package!

A must for macro photography.

Love this camera, I use it for underwater photography and it is amazing. The dynamic range and 3d tracking are awesome.

I actually borrowed this DiCAPac from a friend, I've always wanted to try underwater photography but never had the means to. This is a cheap alternative to the more expensive underwater housings - it kept my camera dry but it is slightly difficult to use a short lens with underwater (I prefer prime lenses). Best to get your settings right before placing the camera in the bag, otherwise your gonna have a bad time.

Bought this camera after I saw my friend's pics of Patagonia taken from this camera. He shoots underwater photography and this is his pocket camera. I had a Sony RX100 II. I like to take close up photos of flowers, and my grandbaby. The image stabilization is the best I have encountered. The colors are true to life. And the light handling is sophisticated. All of this performance on auto mode. I'm stunned and in love with this camera...looking for every opportunity to use it.
