Underwater use
on May 30, 2015
Posted by: Cofressi
I use the HDR 100V at least five times a month underwater from 30 ft to 110 ft depth. No leaks works perfectly. It provides excellent colour down to 30 ft then everything is blue. Sony needs to have available a light system for this camera so true colour can be shown at depth. I wanted to download the software to enable my i phone tyo work with the wi fi, but its such a lengthy process getting an apple account etc why not just make it available direct from Sony. Great camera though. Underwater sounds picked up easily
Great small camera with big camera picture and sound. It even fits in your shirt pocket. Mine is the: HDR-AS30VW. There was no option to register this model on Sony's Web Site. If you want to mount this camera on a tripod you must use the waterproof case to mount it. Also you cannot edit or delete a video or portion of a video. Your only two options are: all or none. To erase you must reformat the memory card. Over all I am very happy with this video camera.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Joegadget,
Thanks for the wonderful review. As for editing the videos, we suggest using either the Playmemories Home software or Action cam Movie Creator which can be downloaded for free at http://www.sony.net/Products/actioncam/en-us/support/cameras/HDR-AS30V/.
First off this is a sony product. What has sony made that sucks? Nothing! This camera does everything I wanted it to do. No its not a cheaper version of a go pro because they have a 4k camera as well for the same price of a go pro. People like me are Just sony people and thats why I purchased the action cam! Awesome product!
Great POV video camera. I use snorkeling, bicycle riding and to capture in car driving footage, all with excellent results, very happy with my purchase.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Hi Louielion,
The supplied waterproof case can be used in 5 M or 16 ft of water.
I bought this to capture video of my family and motorcycling. My main concern is the lack of connection between my smartphone and the camera. The camera can connect to android and ios devices but fails to advertise the fact that only certain phones are compatible. Wi-Fi, NFC.....it doens't matter. I am sorely disappointed. Don't get me wrong...Sony products are great- It is the interfacing and communication with other devices that is the problem. Lack of support has always been an issue. I am a huge fan of the PS4 but as usual-- had the right idea building it with the gamer in mind but it is slowly going back to Sony's old bad habits. Seriously-- PS4 Pro won't be able to play BluRay movies? 1st gen PS4 can't play music CD? XBOX One now includes backwards capability? Slimmer doens't mean better. People want options and the ability to use multiple devices. Give us that ability with the action cam.
