I recently purchased a Picsio GC-WP10 w/ ikelite housing and wide angle ikelite wet lens.
Someone mentioned the macro function, where is this function?? I haven't seen it? Is there actually a menu selection for it? Or does it just zoom and focus closely?
Congrats on your new purchase! The Picsio I was referring to last year was the GZ-FM1 or whatever they called it. The newer late-2010/2011 model is the GC-WP10. A completely different camera.
The GZ-FM1 had a macro switch that allowed the lens to focus at about 1" or so from the subject, clearly, when the switch was set. When it was not set, you needed about 2 1/2 to 3' in order to get focus. It wasn't a macro LENS, per se.
That said, I liked what I saw in the WP10 but noticed it didn't have an obvious macro switch/feature.
What's interesting is I sold my Ikelite and JVC rigs, but need one now for recording class video so I'll start researching what's out there, but may settle on the WP10.
The other questions I can't answer, I don't have experience with the rig.
