This extraordinary 10-second clip presents an extreme close-up of a baby ruby octopus’s eye, captured with exceptional clarity using a Sony A7S III, 90mm macro lens, and a +5 diopter for added magnification. The footage reveals pulsating chromatophores in real time, dynamic pigment shifts that give insight into cephalopod neuromuscular control and camouflage behavior.

The octopus remains motionless, allowing for a stable and richly detailed macro perspective. Recorded in S-Log3, the footage is perfect for professional color grading workflows.

Ideal for documentary sequences, marine biology presentations, educational media, or any creative production that demands close-up underwater visuals with scientific accuracy and cinematic beauty.
