We have researched the DC800 audio interference issue and confirm that there is a minor background sound that may be noticeable during video recording in a quiet environment. Our engineers have fine-tuned the camera’s audio quality to further minimize the interference. We don’t see...
The battery size and performance differs for each SeaLife camera, so the DC800 battery and performance specifications do not apply to the DC500 or DC600.
Here are some tips on the DC500 battery performance (can also be found on our website):

It will fit and work with the DC800 but it's not recommended. The DC800 is already wide angle on its own with a 28 mm lens. The Wide Angle Lens that went with the DC600 (SL970) is a 24 mm lens. If you use it with the DC800 you will see some vignetting in your photos (black corners). To...

Recycle time of “about” 3 seconds is the time interval between pictures in any scene or shooting mode. Spy mode offers a time interval called “fastest”, which is one picture about every 3 seconds when the flash is off, or about 4 seconds when the flash is on. If the...
We would need a little more information to troubleshoot these pictures. It would be best to email the original image samples for our evaluation. Send them to me at photos@sealife-cameras.com.
In general, when shooting on land, select one of the land modes, like Program AE. When shooting...
1)The Digital Pro Flash strobe does not use a TTL metering or communicate with the camera in any way. It has a light meter located on the front face of the flash which measure the amount of light reflecting back from the subject. When the flash is set to AUTO, the flash brightness will be...
Thanks for the nice feedback. Please help us to better understand the Blank Screen issue you mentioned. The LCD will go blank for one second after taking the picture but not while you are taking the picture. If we better understand this issue, I am sure we can offer some solutions.
The battery for the DC800 is 1250 mAh and should last for 2 tank dives, 2+ hours, or 200+ pictures. (It's almost twice the capacity of the DC600 battery).
Yes, all of the older models of SeaLife strobes will work with the DC800.
Hi Donna,
Attach the wide angle lens first, then slide the camera across the flash base, then screw in the mounting screw. It is very difficult to put the wide angle on with the deflector in the front.

Here were my suggestions:
There are a few techniques to taking pictures in low visibility, however this is a much complex and detailed science than we can cover here. There are several university that offer programs on Underwater Crime Scene Investigation, which covers all the details. Here...
Sorry, you are correct. :)
DC500 = 5V, 3.0 amp
DC600 = 5V, 0.6 amp
DC800 = 5V, 2.0 amp
12V DC power cable = 5V (+/- 0.5V), 0.6amps
The 12V travel charger will work with the DC500, DC600 and DC800 cameras. The charging time will take longer with the 12V power cable when compared to the...
Send the camera with the memory card to our service center for evaluation.
