6.3 Part Three - Using the CROSS HAIRS (View Finder):
The CROSS HAIRS on the goggles of the CAMERA MASK help you to approximate
the camera view. In general, the camera will record a view that is directly in front of
you. The view from your eyes will be larger than the image captured.
Depending on the position of your eyes in relation to the camera lens and cross hair
viewfinders, you may notice that the camera records images which are slightly
higher or lower than the view straight in front of you and centered in your crosshairs.
This is due to the variance of the location of the eyes in relation to the camera lens.
NOTE: Close up images will be higher (above your cross hairs or your view point)
because the camera lens is above your eyes.
After performing your first camera test, if you notice the top or the bottom of your
subject is cut from the image, try looking slightly up or down to perform another test.
This will help you determine how best to record your subject while taking an image
or video. You may then use the CROSS HAIRS as a reference to determine where
your image is framed. For some people, the CROSS HAIRS may rest in the middle
of the image. For others, the CROSS HAIRS may be at the top or at the bottom of
the image. It is very important to make this determination prior to using the mask for
any important images. Practice taking pictures to learn your focal points both close
and far.
NOTE: When you first try on the CAMERA MASK, you may barely notice the
CROSS HAIRS on the GOGGLE LENSES. The CROSS HAIRS are more
noticeable when you wear the mask underwater.
