SEACAM S45 Sportsfinder for SEACAM Housing

The S45° SPORTSFINDER with a comfortable 45° view has been an innovative development in underwater photography. The viewfinder is unrivalled in terms of sharpness and size and, due to its design, gives you an invaluable advantage, not only for macro shots. Environmentally friendly shots close to the ground are only possible with the 45° viewfinder angled upwards. But half-and-half recordings on the surface or from the swimming position are also easy to do. Four locking positions on the housing allow for a quick change from landscape to portrait format over and underwater, which is also a big bonus in terms of easy handling.

The interface between the photographer and his subject is the camera’s viewfinder. Here, the photographer composes the desired image, assesses and sets the sharpness and receives the most important information about image data. A powerful and super-clear viewfinder is essential for this task.

By default, the eye needs a distance of about 20–25mm from the ocular to be able to assess the entire image. With the diving mask, however, the whole thing becomes a bit trickier, since the mask forces us at a minimum distance of around 30–40 mm, depending on the model. This fact inspired us to compensate for this disadvantage with special sports- and viewfinders. Today, photographers worldwide trust in our viewfinder system and appreciate the high-quality optics and ergonomic handling.
