Very nice. The A1's compression handled that like a champ.

Very nice fireworks display. I shot some footage of home fireworks on the 4th of July and being that I'm a new user with my XH-A1 the video is okay for an amateur.
The soundtrack of yours is superb and well matched to the action.

I Rate the video *****

Very Impressive Footage, Do You Preset Your Focus Prior To The Show? Or Just Go To Infinity?

Thanks. I just set focus to infinity. Since the show was close to half an hour, I rechecked focus during some of the repetitive sequences.
