Abstract
A digital image capture device for use in capturing underwater digital images, comprising: a watertight housing; an image sensor for capturing a digital image; an optical system for imaging a scene onto the image sensor; a means for setting the digital image capture device to operate in an underwater photography mode or a normal photography mode; and a processor. The processor performs the steps of: capturing a digital image of a scene using the image sensor; controlling a color reproduction of the captured digital image responsive to whether the digital image capture device is operating in an underwater photography mode or a normal photography mode; and storing the captured digital image in a processor accessible memory.
