Using all of the available features of your camera or phone will result in better images of your dive as well. For instance, it’s always a good idea to use the different lenses of your phone correctly for the particular subject. For large animals it’s of course better to use the wide-angle lens, for medium subjects and best quality of the image, use the standard lens. And for smaller subjects, like this Lionfish, it’s ideal to use the tele lens.
