Saba and St. Kits with XZ-1

[webstep1]

I did a live aboard between Saba and St. Kitts earlier this year. I used an Olympus XZ-1 in PT-050 with a Inon D-2000, Sealife SL961, Sealife SL980 video light and Fisheye focus light. It was all attached to a Beneath the Surface frame and flex arms. Some dives I used an Olympus PTWC-01 wide angle lens, depending on what I figured the shots would be (I have found the PTWC-01 difficult to change underwater due to its size).

I shot over 400 images in camera RAW over 23 dives on the trip. I used ACDSee Pro 6 for raw conversion/editing.

This is my third trip with the XZ-1, I like it more after every trip - except video, focus hunting sucks for video.

Nice Pictures. I have a XZ-1 too and I like the camera but I agree that the video "hunts" too much. I might try it in manual focus and see if it's any better ( as soon as the water warms up).
