I was discussing these articles and videos with an Italian marine biologist, and he was pointing out that unfortunately the phenomenon has been known for years among those in the field, and he turned over to me one of his scientific papers on the same topic, here in the Mediterranean in 2007 https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/11250000600911675#d1e357

Assuming we are speaking about 8:7 video: perfect for vertical SM content. You can crop 9:16 without losing resolution (5.3K: 5312x4648) Cropping to classic 16:9 you can reframe/crop or add a fake small zoom in/out or pan (Ken Burns effect)

I see no reason to increase prices everywhere but we are too cynical ☹️

Good job as usual Thanks for sharing

I vote for this. I’ve never used a mirrorless housing in a tropical climate—only small GoPro cases, where I’d place a little moisture-absorbing pad inside. Still, every time I opened the case, the pad was visibly damp. It’s incredible how much humidity can build up in the tiny space left by a GoPro inside its housing. Secondly, I would check the section of the housing where the port attaches. P.S. Do you mind if I slightly edit your title to reflect the actual problem/content?

Insta360 has officially announced the launch of the X5, its most advanced 360-degree action camera to date. Introduced on April 22, 2025, the X5 features upgraded 1/1.28-inch sensors and a high-speed Triple AI Chip system, which together enable video capture at 8K resolution and 30 frames per second. A new mode called PureVideo uses AI algorithms to enhance low-light performance, offering improved noise reduction and dynamic range. In terms of hardware, the X5 includes user-replaceable lenses made from highly durable glass, making field repairs easier and reducing waste. Other design updates include a built-in wind guard for better audio quality, increased battery life—up to 185 minutes depending on settings—and an IP68 rating, meaning it is water-resistant up to 15 meters (49 feet). The camera also introduces InstaFrame Mode, which captures both 360-degree and standard flat video simultaneously. The Insta360 X5 is available starting at $549.99 for the standard package. A more complete bundle, including a selfie stick and extra battery, is priced at $659.99. Additional accessories such as lens replacement kits and spare batteries are also available separately. https://www.insta360.com/product/insta360-x5

Beautiful image! It’s impossible to know whether it would’ve turned out the same without adding the MFO. My question is, does the Black Mojo focus range adjustment also happen with M43 lenses? Edit: my bad, I've just discovered that Nauticam updated its M43 N85 port chart with MFO: https://drive.google.com/file/d/180prPNEGE2nAfoxEYAq9FLkWj6XOiV-M/view

IIRC in the big tariff mess, there were already previous tariffs applied to China (and thus Hon Kong). That is why the White House specified that the current tariffs are at 145%.

The Bajo people of Southeast Asia have a deep connection with the marine environment. As descendants of sea nomads, they traditionally roamed the ocean to fish and trade, but today, most live in coastal villages or on stilts over the water. This short film focuses on the Bajo of Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia, highlighting their strong bond with the sea and the challenges small-scale fishing communities face. Impacted by overfishing, pollution, and biodiversity loss, they are struggling to survive. In response, some have resorted to harmful fishing methods, putting the health of the reefs at risk and leaving their future in jeopardy. www.ritahencke.com/film/salt-in-their-veins www.ritahencke.com/photography/salt-in-their-veins

Ciao Ivan! Welcome aboard, we hope you will enjoy the forum!

The video portrays a profound message about the significance of the ocean in relation to Earth’s health and the future of humanity. Through personal reflections spanning nearly a century, David Attemborough emphasizes the ocean’s vital role as our planet’s life support system and its capacity to combat climate change. Despite its current poor health, there’s a strong sense of hope: the ocean’s ability to recover more rapidly than previously thought. The narrative implores humanity to take action to preserve the seas, asserting that if we save the ocean, we ultimately save our world. This story is not just about acknowledging the critical state of the oceans, but also about understanding the immense potential for restoration and rejuvenation, underscoring a collective responsibility for the future of our planet.

Hi Bradley, Welcome to the forum!

Hi Craine, Do what you think is best. It makes sense that people who use photos more professionally would link them from a service that allows sharing. When we said "community assets," we meant that some forums and communities don't allow you to upload images, but only link to them. We encourage uploading, even if it means compromising on quality and space. At first, we received some negative feedback about the quality of photos after they were automatically resized by the board algorithm. So, we've suggested ways to adjust the photos before uploading. Ciao
