Just wondering if anyone here had experience and suggestions with the camcorder settings for the HFS30 for UW use. I have turned off "face tracking", since that seemed to be doomed to making bad decisions. Have the camera currently set at 17mbps, 24p (for better low-light performance). Have not turned off image stabilization--it's supposed to be quite good in the camera, although I know that is another "feature" that doesn't translate well to UW use.
I can certainly learn what does and doesn't work in Raja Ampat, but hints before the rig sees its first blue water would be welcome.

Did you ever get any answers? What settings did you use that worked? I'm getting ready to take my HF-S30 to Roatan, and although I have played with it a bit locally, I would like to hear what you have found to work. Thanks!
