Magic Filters introduce new Auto-Magic

What can you do if you do not have an external strobe and want to take a colourful underwater photo? Correct, the answer is Filter Photography. It’s refrained a lot in the industry after PADI launched its new digital underwater photography specialty in January 2006, other websites and we have released several articles about available light photography. So almost everybody should know the answer by now or start learning the trick. But lately there has also been a break-through in filter technology that allows nearly every digital camera to conduct this new style of photography.

If you have manual White-balancing available on your camera should stick to the classic magic-filter, as this will usually allow more precise results. By the way: Did you know that we have listed the important feature of manual White-balancing in the DIGIDEEP datasheets? So you can right away hop over and look if the new Auto-Magic or classic Magic-Filter is more optimal for your camera. Both filters still have a recommended maximum depth of 18 metres; however we have already seen very pleasing results and greater depth when much light was available.

Almost simultaneously with the introduction of the new Auto-Magic Filter a first translation into German language is in progress with Magische Filter. DIGIDEEP’s Andi Voeltz is personally helping distributing and selecting the right filters for German speaking customers in Austria, Germany and Switzerland. His second company Hydronalin e. K. is stocking filters and several accessories to price-worthy mount the filters on your cameras or underwater housings. Best results are still obtained by using the original design in a lens with rear mounted filter holder on a low-noise digital SLR system.

If you want to try the Magic-Filters you may just consider to
buy your own starting at a price of 29 EUR for one filter slide.

For the end of the year more filter-news are expected. A special filter for underwater photography in green waters is still under development. However, our team can confirm that even the classic Magic Filter does great improvements when used in local lakes or seas. We are eager to also test the upcoming GreenWater Magic.
