First underwater video from Canon 5D Mk III

Chris Parsons has posted the first underwater video shot with Canon 5D Mk III on the forums. The footage was shot around the Windjammer wreck in Bonaire, which lies in 210’ (65m) of water, just past the end of the reef on the northwest end of the island. Chris was using a Canon 8-15mm lens (at 14mm) with a 1.4 x teleconverter. Chris is uncertain of the exposure settings, but thinks it was mostly shot at 1/60 at around f/8 to f/13, ISO 800-1600. He also utilized the AF-On feature on the camera to pre-focus at around 2’ ( 0.6m).

In addition, he has also posted some macro footage from Bonaire onto Vimeo. This was shot using an 100mm lens and Atlantis Mk I lights.
