Kodak Ultra Sport Single Use 35mm Camera - 27exp

Choose the Kodak Ultra Sport when you need a film camera that can go places where an ordinary disposable camera or expensive digital camera may not be suitable. Its biggest advantage is the waterproof and rugged design. It can be used around swimming pools, at the beach and underwater, while the protective casing also makes it useful for activities involving sand, water or rough conditions. The ISO 800 film provides additional sensitivity compared with slower film stocks, which is useful because light levels decrease quickly underwater. It is also extremely easy to use. There are no batteries to charge, memory cards to install or exposure settings to adjust. Simply advance the film, compose through the viewfinder and take the photograph.

Use plenty of light. The Kodak Ultra Sport has no flash, so bright daylight gives the best results. Stay relatively close underwater. Water reduces clarity, colour and contrast. Moving closer to your subject generally produces stronger photographs. Shoot near the surface when possible. Natural light becomes weaker and colours change as you go deeper underwater. Keep the sun behind or beside you. This can help illuminate your subject rather than turning it into a silhouette. Avoid very dark underwater conditions. ISO 800 provides useful sensitivity, but the camera still depends on available light. Use it in clear water. Murky water can significantly reduce sharpness and contrast. Hold the camera firmly underwater. Water resistance can make camera movement feel different, so use both hands where possible. Remember the fixed focus. Avoid placing subjects extremely close to the lens. Check for water droplets above water. Drops on the protective lens area can affect photographs after you leave the water. Rinse the exterior after seawater use. A gentle rinse with fresh water can help remove salt from the outside of the waterproof casing. Do not open the camera. The protective body and film should remain sealed until the camera reaches the processing lab. Remember you have 27 exposures. There is no digital preview, so compose carefully before taking each photograph. Develop after use. Take the complete camera to a film laboratory for C-41 processing, high-resolution scanning and optional prints.
