Featuring Jean Rydberg

Shooting the FCON-T02 behind a dome port underwater is amazing for wide angle scenes but can create some challenges with unwanted reflections. Learn two simple ways to avoid lens flare when shooting this lens with your OM System TG-7 or Olympus TG-6 camera. 
  

 

When you take the ultra-wide FCON-T02 Fisheye Converter lens underwater on an OM System TG-7 or Olympus TG-6 camera, there’s a potential for unwanted reflections due to the light bouncing around inside of the dome port. There are two simple things you can do to avoid these rings of light from sabotaging your photos and video.

Anti-Reflection Ring

First you’ll want to pick up this simple Anti-Reflection Ring for Olympus FCON-T02 Fisheye Lens # 6408 that fits around the FCON lens. Just take the foam ring and slide it onto the lens and converter before you attach them to the front of the camera.

Assembling the anti-reflection ring is very simple and can save your photos. Just slide the foam anti-reflection ring onto the lens and converter before you attach them to your camera.

 

Changing Your Camera Angle

Once you’re underwater, you’ll want to be mindful of the direction you’re shooting. Reflections will be worse when shooting towards the sun. While you may not be able to avoid this, you can adjust the angle of your system. Slight changes to your camera angle can often make reflections appear or magically disappear.
