Some pictures i took on a recent Dive trip out to Sipadan - (Kapalai DR)

the pictures are could be quite big so if u click on them... i think it might take awhile. sorry abt tt.






Fuji F31FD

This was using just the camera and its flash right? I am evaluating the F31 for an u/w P&S camera. How was it?

[silver78]

yes, just the Camera with the internal flash (with Diffuser). The underwater housing was also from Fuji - Pretty good i must say having owed Canon ones before.

This setup is works for macro. I like the simplicity of the camera and the underwater mode seems to be quite adapt at reproducing accurate colors. Also the Camera housing size was very managable to me compared to my older A40 (heh its an antique i know... but what the heck it works!)



Dunno if other fuji users do the White balance underwater at depth but i was abit lazy and just took pictures based on the Auto White balance...

However, this camera doesnt seem to do very well with pictures where the subject's more then 7~10M away... then again, its a compact P&S , so cant complain about that =)

I've a few more pictures if u're interested.

What I meant was any non-macro u/w pictures besides the turtle picture? For example shots of schooling barracudas or jacks?
