Pretty cool Dan! Good to see you are still using some background music.

@czechys Hi, HD is just a record feature. The slow motion is actually an SD setting. The Casio EXILIM Pro EX-F1 is a good camera but a bit slow with some feature. Once set the High Speed is good and the HD quality is very good too.

Thank you:-), it is really tricky following something with a long focal length that moves so randomly.
