Stokes I and V profiles of Fel 630.1 nm and Fel 630.2 nm observed in a sunspot with an angular resolution ≥0.5” are analyzed. We find asymmetric V-profiles whose shapes are in agreement with previous determinations having lower angular resolution (~5”). We also find a correlation between penumbral small scale variations of continuum intensity and velocity. Although it involves smaller velocities, such correlation resembles that existing in the quiet sun as a consequence of convection.
