1. Turtle @ Sogod Bay, Ph (Lumix TZ7/ZS3 - AVCHD)

Pl subscribe to my channel for more vids.

1) SDHC - Ultra 2 Class 4 (16Gb) works well at depth !

2) muvee Reveal is awesome for creating mts/WMV-HD videos. (needs some bugs fixed for 24-5fps though)

Those files are imported from I:\PRIVATE\AVCHD\BDMV\STREAM

3) Bought the u/w case from amazon japan.

There isn't much settings for underwater mode though i did find it worked better than iA. (iA works better for photo night dives!)

Also zooming focus can be a problem beyond 0.5m - infinity . Macro like nudibranchs , is best to stick to even less zoom or none.

Hi,

nice video! I also use this cam for underwater vids.

But I have a question .. do you know, whats that annoying, repeating sound???

Do you know something about this sound????

[wickedinnit]

this was my first ever vid so i was on the deafult firmware..the latest now removes that annoying beeping sound...

[Blomman1992]

I have the new 1.2 Firmwire but it doesen't fix that on mine!?

[wickedinnit]

what card are u using using? i heard sometimes it could be a card issue..have you tried an 8gb class 6 card or Ultra II class 4 one?

[vsop333]

@insideddex I heard that the sound is from the camera constantly trying to autofocus. Go into the camera settings and turn off AF, etc. Try setting it for a set distance or just infinity. You won't be trying to film far distances underwater anyway.

Note, all cameras make some sort of sound on the video when they focus or zoom above water. The ZS3 makes NO sounds on your video above water. Below water it gets amplified and you finally hear it for the first time.

the turtles like: fuck off!

[AshMargrove]

Wow... Turtles are safe! There so cool and friendly :)

[mrpixelator]

Great stuff. I just ordered a ZS3 and I used Sony Vegas 9, as well. Stellar video!

[Luckzzz]

Did you use some kind of bag to put it on water, right? can you send me the name of it?

thanks :)

[EricMaiolino]

magnifique!

[subarianEra]

Man, the housing is so expensive!

[nyer82]

WOW. I ordered this camera and I am so happy we decided on this one!
