One thing sticks out and that is you said to put the camera on manual focus. So how can I take video
of something up close and something far away?

I'm guessing it has something to do with the auto focus plays havoc with the plastic lens of the housing but was just wondering why you said manual over auto.
Yep, if you leave it on auto, you run the risk of filing an air bubble for an hour. Best to just put it on a manual mode and not having to worry about it. I have a wide angle adapter screwed to the front of that little camera so I was able to almost touch that puffer fish and keep the camera in focus.

That small Pani is a 3CCD camera so it's small and packs quite a punch on quality.In fact when I bought it was the smallest 3 chip camera you could get.
