but the gap has been substantially narrowed, and this
trend will continue as improvements in batteries are
made and more efficient LED technology is created.
Whether to hit the record button or shutter release is

strobes for underwater still photography, but with some
adaptation and compromise we now have the option for
shooting stills and video with a single camera. Provided
we have the bottom time, we can at last opt to capture a
subject both ways during a single dive.
