If you haven't bought the port yet, I’d recommend looking for a used 14-42mm II. I found mine for 60 euros. There’s also the 14-42mm PZ, which uses a shorter port, but based on tests, the 14-42mm OIS II seems to be the better lens. P.S. We are speaking of plastic kit lenses...

Hi Lou, Welcome aboard! We have other freediving photographers here in the forum. We hope you enjoy your new community. Ciao

Hi Max, Welcome to the rabbit hole then! Ciao

I'm looking for a used one to start using for topside filming, but I haven't found any great deals yet. Anyway, how are you finding AF-S for underwater video? Are you able to use subject tracking? With which lens? From what I’ve read, the Panasonic AF system is finally on par with Sony, Canon, and Nikon. What many people complain about is that it lacks the automation that Sony has: you pick any object and the camera starts tracking it regardless of the mode you're in (subject detection...). Many have requested this feature and hopefully, in a future upgrade... This video is one of the few comprehensive ones on all the Panasonic AF features for its latest-generation cameras.

It seems a lot of value for the money. Which WA lens do you plan to use with it? I saw a small lens choice assortment on their website. They have a m43 housing too but it's a mistery which lens you can use on it. Thanks

Amazing report! Thanks for sharing.

Interesting the drop-in filter

How was the trip? Did the camera perform well?

According to Canon Rumors: Canon RF 7-14mm F2.8-3.5L VCM $1599 USD / €1829

It is worth watching the video even just for his shirt! P.S. Jokes apart, great video and explanation indeed

Yes. Just apply a slight crop in post production. P.S. Read the fine prints: https://www.inon.jp/products/action/lens/ufl-g140.html#notes Always set camera's Field of View (FOV)/Digital Lenses to [WIDE]. Using [Linear] or [Narrow] won't bring optimal performance of this lens. When using with HERO11 Black, HERO12 Black and HERO13 Black, shoot in 4:3 or 16:9 aspect ratio as vignetting will occur in 8:7 or HyperView mode.

Wow, Incredible! Thank you for sharing your experience with us. It is a beautiful project where your skill, experience, and available tools definitely matter a lot. It is not for the faint of heart! Thanks

I have only seen it working in a studio, which means in perfectly controlled conditions. In the water, color absorption changes a lot with distance, and the orientation towards the sun changes much more than in the air. A good white balance is more than enough. The goal is to have colors that are pleasant rather than faithful

First we must wait for the duels to the death to finish 😁
