Canon G9 Underwater Photo Gallery
I thought I provide a page of sample pictures for a quick overview of what the Canon G9 can do underwater (last update 29 May 2009 – for more recent photographs please visit my Flickr page).
The camera setup used for these underwater shots and standard settings are described here (to sum it up: Canon G9, Ikelite housing, single Inon Z240 strobe). Many of the photos are linked to my flickr-account. The EXIF is accessible on Flickr and provides more information on the settings used for each photo.

Greetings,
You are mastering your G9. What a wonderful collection of photos. I hope to have a similar set-up one day, only I am looking at the Ikelite ds161 Video on the occasion I want to experiment with the video clips mode on the G9. What photo software are you using, and are you using the RAW mode? Thank you for sharing. I aspire to one day get some quality shots like you.

Thanks a lot for your kind words Ben! I am just back from some awesome diving/underwater photographing in Bali, hopefully there are finally some more recent shots to be added to the gallery…
. The quality was ok, but I never even set a proper white balance before recording.
I always shoot RAW, a clear plus for underwater pictures. I usually do some tonal curve adjustments and removal of the odd particle in the frame by photoshop.
I have not captured many videos yet with the G9, I usually only remember later that it would have been a good idea
The Ikelite DS160 is certainly an excellent strobe, and I am wondering how the video light on the DS161 is going to rate. I take it for the G9 it should definitely do the job. I would have loved to use an Ikelite strobe in my setup, but after all their price in Australia was simply not competitive compared to the INON.
Cheers,
roland
