here are two pages from the manual, they both say that the FoV adjustment is only for 1080 mode (red box) but the FoV info is wrong as it only lists two choices when there are in fact three in the camera menu (red and blue box)
I hope this is just a software issue, but the camera clearly does not have that feature now

In the camera menu and literature it does not have the option. In 720 when you go to the fov menu it only has wide. Same for 960. In the booklet it lists the camera modes and only 1080 gives fov. I hope it is a setting I missed or a software update

jealous, why does cali have to be so far from florida????

okay, first chance to mess around with the camera and some observations.

the images is curved to accomodate the better optics, but fisheye effects are visible in every setting.

the FoV adjustment is only useable in 1080, so as Harry recommended, 720 w 90degrees is not an option. this is annoying because you cannot use the 1080 in 60 fps.
the 1080 setting can be used in 170,127 and 90 degree. the 90 is the most realistic but it still warps the image at the edges, this is all without the curved housing lens and I imagine will be worse with the curved lens

i suspect that the majority of spearos will go for the 1080 /90/30fps mode but some may exchange the FoV for higher fps and go with the 960x170x48fps or 720x170x60fps
i have some concerns that this camera may distort the images too much but I will wait to do some daylight underwater shots before any conclusions are drawn

the camera is MUCH better in low light...while it still loses definition fast, the indoor shots at night are visible now as opposed to worthless as before.

I love the led's all over but I still find myself looking at the front to start all the vids...habit i guess.

more to come once i put it in a housing and get it in the pool, hopefully tomorrow or thurs

we need a brewers thread here...nice!

seriously, I eat ceros without even soy sauce...so sweet and delicious

To each their own pantoja. More for us

X2 on johns comment. Mack is some of the best sashimi. And yj might be the best aside from lionfish

It adds a lot of options to the meal

awesome, that is just what i wanted to know...just got my hands on the camera so I will be playing with it tonight...

Awesome report as always. Way to get it done man.

ESP considering the yak in your avatar is called the lucky love banana. Hahaha good mojo from bananas for me

Quote from spearstuff

He means that shinning the light at the lobster scares it away immediately. Normally lobsters don't run away at the sight of your dive light, but sometimes they bolt at the slightest glimmer of your light. When lobsters scare like that you really have to control where you're shining your light or all your lobsters will run away before you have a chance at them.

Nice report. I should have gone out last night before the rain!

I'm having the best year yet when it comes to lobster diving! However 90% of the bugs I find seem to be under 2lbs. I've only found a handful of bugs over 3lbs this year and only one lobster over 4 pounds.

Very cool. Thanks for the info

To an ignorant day diver, what do you mean when you say light control? Just the actual holding of your light or your use of the light?

Lee has always been here.

Sooo many look away poses

Welcome to the board lee.

You still have the yak? You ever use it these days?

Thanks for the report. Nice work on a limit

You are such a tease don

Hahahaha funny stuff hank

And a damn fine quiver. Nice amps too.

Hey Gang.

I was sitting the other day and noodling around on my bass while I was surfing the forums and it occured to me that there might be a lot of others in here who like to make some tunes.

I am a pretty recreational player, no real talent but I love music with a passion, almost as much as I love the sea and my dogs.

I consider myself a bassist but I also play a lot of guitar and ukulele. I am looking to add banjo or mandolin soon as I love bluegrass and dont have the chops on the guitar for it.

I have way too many instruments:

JB Player (martin clone) six string acoustic
guild SF Iv- semi hollow electric six string
epiphone electric bass
Fender jazz bass, fretless
ibanez acoustic bass
Eddy finn concet ukulele
lanikai soprano ukulele
- '67 martin d35
-'69 martin d28 12 string
Okay, to be technical, the martins are both my Dad's but I am the first born son so they are essentially mine
and a bunch of fun toys like harmonicas and a jews harp and yes, a washboard

I love any music that is from the heart, be it soul, rock, blues, bluegrass, jazz and world music are my favorites but i really love folk music from just about anywhere. I mostly play rock and folk

So, what do you guys play or like or do you all just hate music <img src= " class="smiley" srcset="https://spearfishing.world/forum/images/smilies/emojione/1f606@2x.png 2x" height="23" width="23" loading="eager" data-tooltip="biggrin" aria-label="biggrin">

seriously, that is really too tempting, thanks a lot for the recipe, I love a simple bug dish
