## What is Aqua Cam by dariuswak?

iPhone camera app for underwater photography and videography.
To be used with Kraken Universal Smartphone Housing.

- Records videos in UHD Dolby Vision up to 120fps
- Takes up to 48MP HDR photos with live photo
- Allows to shoot with any of the 3 back-facing cameras
- Diving overlay shows current dive time and, if supported by housing, depth & temperature
- Power saving function
- Supports Kraken Universal Smartphone Housing Pro (tested with KRH05)

Before a dive:
- Turn on a focus mode, switch off "Find My" notifications. Any notifications will obscure preview throughout the dive.
- Clean the phone screen, oily screen will affect preview visibility
- Place the phone in the housing, the app will connect automatically
- Take a test photo / video, then switch off the housing to save battery
