Hi,
I recently bought Canon hf200 and was going to buy WP-W1 housing for it, now they have stop manufacturing hf 200 and the housing for it.

The reason I bought this camera was because of this housing.
Do you know any1 that is still selling wp-w1 or do I have to try selling my camera

So then Auto mode?
Programmed AE
Auto White Balance
Image Effect Off
Digital Effect Off
MXP

Correct?
And then in like Adobe Premiere Pro, I would run a color correction?

Correct. I am not sure about the Adobe part of things as I use Mac and iMovie. But thoughts differ as to post production. I have as yet not used post production because I like things to be as I have seen them.

nwflyboy: Regarding priming, I have experienced shots being ruined by tiny bubbles. One of the first things I do after jumping in the water is to unscrew the W-20 lens just enough for bubbles to escape (you don't need to fully unscrew and risk dropping it). If you don't do this, the bubbles will still escape sooner or later - but you may see bubbles on some of your first shots of the dive.

My experience anyway

I just got back from Tubbataha, Philippines, and tried out my new Ikelite W-20 lens with the Canon WPV1. The videos always get some out of focus sections in the corners when I do any amount of zoom with the camera. I understand "vignetting" is similar but it refers to shadowing in the corners rather than blurriness. The only way to get a clear image is to zoom out completely.

See one of my clips here: in youtube, under the title "W20 Lens with Canon WPV1.mpg"

SGUFT, I saw you mentioning having the same lens and enclosure. Do you get the blurred edges when you zoom-in?

Tom.
