2.Technology

TheBigEyeLensGSeriesmakesuseofanewpatentedlenstechnology,

whichallowsforhighqualityunderwaterwideangleimagesfreeof

distortions.Thenewtechnologyusesairinsteadofglassasanoptical

elementandenablesrecovering100%ofthecameralensopticalproperties

underwater.Theairpocketinsidethelensenhancestheangleoflight

refraction,therebyrestoringtheoriginalangleofcoverageofthecameralens

(seefiguresbelow).Thispatentedtechnologywasspeciallydesignedfor

underwaterphotographyandthereforethelensshouldonlybeusedwhen

thesystemissubmergedinwater.
