The store.it underwater camera is a disposable camera specially designed for outdoor and underwater use. It is characterized by its easy handling and robust construction, making it suitable for both amateur photographers and occasional users. It will still be sold in 2024.
The camera has a built-in film with a sensitivity of ISO 400, designed for 27 shots. This film is optimized for different lighting conditions and enables good results both in sunshine and light cloud cover. Underwater, the camera can be used up to a depth of 3 meters, with the housing offering protection against dust and dirt.
To achieve the best possible photo quality, the manufacturer recommends a minimum distance of 1-2 meters from the subject on land and a maximum distance of 3 meters underwater. The camera is equipped with a simple shutter release and a film transport mechanism operated by manual advance. A display informs about the number of shots remaining.
Development of the underwater camera
To receive the photos from the store.it underwater camera, the camera can be taken to any Rossmann branch after the film has been completely used up. The film will be professionally developed there and the photos can then be ordered in the desired size and number.
Rossmann offers various options for developing the photos, including classic prints in various formats, digital files on CD or USB stick, and the option of ordering the photos online and having them delivered directly to your home. The prices for development and prints vary depending on the option selected and the number of photos.
The development time is usually a few days, but can vary depending on the order situation and the branch selected. Customers can find out about the current status of their order in the branch or online.
Of course, you can also take the camera to another photo lab. DM-Markt, for example, also offers development.
