The short ELI5 answer is that the camera is wearing goggles. It can see just like a person wearing goggles. The reason things look wonky is because air bends light a little bit, water bends light a lot. Our eyes are made to work with the bending in air. Dolphins have blurry vision in air for the same reason.
