GO Series: Noticeable Edge Distortion in Footage Shot Underwater

GO Series: Noticeable Edge Distortion in Footage Shot Underwater

Applicable Models: GO 3, GO 3S, and GO Ultra

Description

When using the camera for underwater shooting, noticeable distortion or bending occurs at the edges of the frame.

Reason

In underwater shooting scenarios, the difference in refractive index between water (≈1.33) and air (≈1.0) alters the path of light. This causes a physical imaging deviation during shooting, resulting in distortion at the edges of the frame.

Solution

Use the "UltraWide" perspective for shooting: This perspective offers a wider field of view, helping mitigate edge distortion caused by light refraction.
