Liquid Image is releasing a underwater video series camera mask at the 2009 CES show in Las Vegas January 8th - 11th. The Video Mask 310 Camera / Video Mask is an upgraded version of the award winning Camera Mask, released in 2008. This new version allows snorkelers, free divers, and shallow scuba divers to capture underwater digital video and photos hands free at a higher frame rate. The video is D1 (720 x 480 pixels) and records at a rate up to 30 frames per second. The original model, Explorer Series, recorded around 20 frames per second. The underwater camera mode features a 5 Megapixel (2560 x 1920 pixel) still image.

Each Liquid Image Video Mask 310 will be tested and certified to a depth rating of 10 meters / 33 feet during production. This new underwater camera mask has light attachments available to help bring out the color and detail that is generally lost while diving below 5 meters. To take a photo or a video, the diver lines up the crosshair marks on the mask with the object, and then presses the capture button. LED lights inside the viewing area indicate the mode the camera is in when activated.
