Hey so I'm Wondering how focus is pulled for film projects like blue planet.....

Is there someone on yhe surface controllino a wireless follow focus? Is it mostly autofocus?

Mixture of all or none?

It’s set to infinity, out of the water it’s fine and focused. But when I go underwater, it’s all blurry? What’s the solution?

Am using a gh5 with ikelite housing on a 10mm f2.

Hi all,

I’m thinking of getting an action camera mainly for underwater footage, and I am currently torn between the action 5 pro and the ace pro 2. Currently leaning towards DJI a bit more due to cheaper pricing and more stuff out of the combo box than Insta 360.

I'm a middle school robotics coach and this year's theme is "submerged" Teams of students are researching problems with exploring the ocean. My students are interested in learning about underwater photography and any problems photographers encounter. I'm neither a photographer or diver, so this is an open request for information. Anything you can share would help these inquisitive students. What do you wish you could do in taking photos underwater that is currently not available? Did you take a class or read a book to learn how to take great underwater photos? To whom and how do you share your photos? Finally would you be willing to talk via zoom with these students on a Monday afternoon 3:3O Central time?

Hello everyone, i'm new to the world of uw photgraphy, and my grandpa gifted me a nikonos V with all the gear ypu could think of, too bad it is all oxydized, i brought it to my local nikon dealer and they told me it was beyond repair.

So i was thinking of buying a new camera in order to use all the accessories, i found one for very little money, it was serviced in '04 and never used again, the seller told me that mechanically everything works fine although he tried to put batteries in and told me the light meter isnt working.

My question is: how rare is it that the light meter isnt working, is it reparable?

Also i cant go and see the camera as it is 400 km from where i live so is it worth the risk?

by the way the camera costs 120 euros but i think i could get it for a 100.

Thank you very much to anyoine that might help me.

I shoot Sony, but can adapt to canon or Nikon lenses. I'm looking for a wider angle macro lens with a wide aperture and autofocus. Can be either crop or full frame

Any criticism appreciated

I have a TG-7 and housing which has accompanied me to Belize in the past (https://www.reddit.com/r/scuba/comments/1c04g43/long_caye_belize_april_2024/), but am ready to step up my game for an upcoming trip to Lembeh by getting some strobes.

I am torn about investing more into this system versus making the leap to a MFT system like the OM-D EM 10 IV. It seems that most TG macro images that I see have a 'dirty' quality to them - chromatic aberration? Sensor noise? Both? Does anyone have TG images they really like that don't have this quality?

Am I wrong to think that the EM10 camera would be a major step up?

This is a super-rare opportunity, as I don't know when we'll travel so far again.

On the other hand, as a new diver (coldwater/ drysuit trained, with two Belize trips under my belt) I don't want to go too far on the hassle factor, and managing the strobes alone would be new.

I am a lifetime camera person, so manual settings and flash use above the water are not intimidating at all.

I would love to see "best of" macro images from these two cameras side-by-side.

Just venting here, but hopefully someone can lend some advice.
