Google Unveils "Capturing Ocean Depths" Feature Integrated with Kraken Universal Phone Case forPixel Devices
In the realm of underwater photography, the Google Pixel and Kraken Sports Universal Smart Phone Housing combination is a game-changer. This duo allows users to safely capture stunning images and videos of the underwater world, offering features that optimize for underwater conditions.
To begin, install a compatible underwater photography app such as SportDiver on your Google Pixel, which supports various smartphones running Android 13 and above. This app offers advanced manual controls, allowing adjustments to zoom, focus, shutter speed, ISO, white balance, exposure, and more, all optimized for underwater shots.
Next, use the Kraken KRH06 Universal Smart Phone Underwater Housing, designed for universal smartphone use underwater. Confirm that your Google Pixel fits securely in the Kraken housing to ensure waterproof integrity.
Once your Pixel is securely housed, enable the underwater photography mode on your Pixel. On Pixel 9 and newer models running Android 15, there is a dedicated underwater photography mode. Activate this mode before submerging your phone to optimize camera settings for underwater conditions.
With your phone securely housed and underwater mode activated, launch the camera or SportDiver app inside the housing. Operate the camera using the physical buttons or touchscreen through the housing (if supported) to adjust settings manually or use the underwater mode for automatic optimization.
Post-processing color correction is essential for underwater images, often suffering from blue/green tints. Use apps like AquaColorFix to enhance colors and restore natural hues in your photos and videos after capture.
Kraken Sports offers various smartphone housing packages for purchase at Bluewater Photo, including the Universal Smart Phone Housing Package, Smart Phone Housing & Tray Package, Smart Phone Wide Angle Package, and Smart Phone Ultimate Package.
To use Google Pixel's special underwater features like Underwater Portrait, Night Sight, Motion Photos & Videos, pair and use your Pixel with the dive case. To do this, turn on Bluetooth, download the Dive Case Connector app, and follow the instructions provided in the app and the manufacturer's instructions for the dive case.
The user must set a "Water Type" to have the Data Overlay in Camera show their underwater depth correctly. Pressing the Shutter button or Lever on the dive case opens the Pixel's Camera app, even if the phone's screen is off and locked.
Only Camera, Video, Night Sight, and Portrait are the Camera modes that can be used with a dive case. To take a photo with the dive case, press the Shutter button or Lever. To stop recording in Video mode, press the Shutter button or Lever again.
Google Pixel requires Android 11 and up, the latest version of Google Camera and Google Photos, and a supported case with Dive Connector for these features to function. Supported cases include Kraken Sports KRH04, KRH03 Pro, KRH02, and KRH01 Pro with Depth/Temp Sensor. The Kraken Sports Wide Angle Lens is recommended for the Universal Smart Phone Housing.
For a more immersive underwater experience, consider the Kraken Sports Universal Smart Phone Housing. With its compatibility with Google Pixel's native underwater photography mode and advanced apps like SportDiver, you can capture stunning underwater images with ease. And with post-processing tools like AquaColorFix, you can polish your final images to perfection. Happy diving!
