It was time to go for a second trip with the RX100 Mark IV I decided last minute to use the UWL-H100 LD however I managed to forget the M67-LD converter so ended up taking footage holding the wet lens with my left hand. This created some flare issues in some scenes anyway … Continue reading 4K with the Sony RX100 in Egypt

I am currently in Malta for few days relaxing and I manage to squeeze in some dives. The Mediterranean sea is nothing sensational (from a pure diving point of view) but does offer clear water, and some brisk thermoclines, and a combination of algae, blue water, caves and silvery fish that is challenging on the … Continue reading Tweaking the Sony RX100 Mark II Video Performance
