The DC2000‘s four underwater shooting modes include “dive,” “snorkel,” “external light” and “external flash,” and it has three built-in underwater digital color-correction filters: shallow water for snorkeling, deep water for diving and “green” water for diving in an algae bloom.

Not only that, the DC2000 also sports an additional 25 modes for shooting out of the water. Its shutter response time is lickety-split: 0.1 seconds, making fast-moving shots easy to handle.

The intuitive dial can be used to choose from eight shooting modes, including manual shutter and 17 aperture settings, from f1.8 to f11. Additionally, the new camera can shoot in JPEG or and RAW, giving you a whole slew of photo-editing options.

If you happen to have shaky hands, it sports an “Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) – CCD shift technology” that reduces the chance of taking a blurry photo.

The removable and rechargeable 1130mAh 3.7V ion battery can power the camera for more than two hours. The DC2000 also has 80 megabytes of internal memory and can be expanded to 128 gigabytes via compatibilty with a host of memory cards, including micro-SD, micro-SDHD, micro-SDXC, and UHS-1.

As for downloading your pictures, the camera’s built-in Wi-Fi can wirelessly connect to any iOS and Android smart phone or tablet using the free Link123 Plus app.
