Ace Series: Noticeable Edge Distortion in Photos or Videos Shot Underwater

Ace Series: Noticeable Edge Distortion in Photos or Videos Shot Underwater

Applicable Models: Ace, Ace Pro, and Ace Pro 2

Description

When using the camera for underwater shooting, noticeable distortion or bending occurs at the edges of the frame. This effect is particularly apparent when shooting with the "Dewarp" FOV.

Reason

In underwater environments, 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 image edges.

Solution

Ace and Ace Pro

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

Ace Pro 2

Enable the Underwater Mode: By default, the camera will use the "UltraWide" FOV for shooting to help mitigate edge distortion caused by light refraction.
