Child’s Play – Paralenz camera so simple to use

Published

on

Everything about the Paralenz Dive Camera is made to be as intuitive as possible to let you focus on your dive. The basic design is based on a flashlight which makes locating the buttons very easy. The shape is also perfect for dealing with pressure and drag. It has an intuitive interface that can be operated with gloves and the camera’s haptic feedback always lets you know what it’s doing. The combination of design and features makes this camera so easy to use you could hand it to a child. Read on to find out why!

Magnetic Switches & Vibration Feedback

Traditional “Push-buttons” on most action cameras are too small, give too little feedback, don’t work very well under higher pressure and are practically impossible to use with gloves. The Paralenz Dive Camera has all magnetic switches and vibration feedback which instantly lets you know what the camera is doing. You never really need to look at the display as each function has its own distinctive vibration pattern that tells you what mode the camera is in, or if it has started or stopped recording. Another advantage with the magnetic switches it that they work at any pressure.

Intuitive Torch Shape

You have to learn the layout of the buttons on a camera. In some situations, you have to search for them or take a look to locate the right one. The Paralenz Dive Camera is designed like a torch, so you can intuitively locate the buttons. The shape makes it very easy to know what the camera is aiming at and with the 140-degree wide angle lens you will be sure to catch clear, fisheye free, color graded, footage of whatever is in front of the camera.

AutoRecord

Ever forgot to start the camera before your dive? You don’t have to worry about that anymore! Once the AutoRecord feature is enabled all you need to do is jump in. The camera will automatically start to record and stop again when you return to the surface. Don’t think about the camera, just dive!

SnapRecord

Switching through video and photo mode during the dive is a thing of the past! SnapRecord has both modes in one – you just click once for a picture and hold down to record video. Using SnapRecord you only record the memories you want, this way you don´t end up with gigabytes of footage you have to move, store and edit, to find the bits you want to keep.

DCC™ – Depth-controlled Color Correction

With the invention of DCC™, Paralenz has eliminated the need for colors filters. You get brighter footage and clearer colors from the surface to the bottom with no need to fiddle with filters or post color correction. You can share clean, color graded, under water footage, straight off the camera. Read more about the innovative Paralenz DCC™
