Whale Shark from A620 video mode

[booth22]

Here's a little clip I shot with my A620 in Utila a few weeks back, I finally got it online. Give it a minute to load - it's a 2 minute clip. booth22

Wonderful video booth, thanks for sharing !
I love the quality and clarity of the A610/A620 video mode at 640x480 and at 30fps..

I just wish that it didn't take up so much space...

Thanks. Very nice. Did you use the internal strob, external strobe, or no flash?

just the internal flash, this was the first time using the camera and housing. an external strobe is on my christmas list... i know it's a long ways away! I've got the canon housing so I'm still looking to figure out which strobe to get...

Uh oh......, think we've found a new victim here :14:.
Grappling with that decision myself booth...

What's really great about the video is I know exactly how hard you're kicking to keep up with the thing. We did a whale shark snorkel in La Paz and we were kicking as hard as we could just to keep up. However there were 20 other people kicking me in the head with their fins which you didn't seem to have to deal with. Very lucky.

Nay, I'm glad you can relate ! I try to explain just how hard we were swimming to friends back home, but I just don't think they understand. This specific clip was after our last two morning dives the day before we flew home. We were the only boat (6 of us) around and saw a few whale sharks and dolphins before heading to the resort for the last time.

Jamdiver, which strobes are you looking at... I don't even know where to begin!!
