[aaronnorth]

some nice, new growthc oming through which is always a good sign!

As for the ISO you want to set it as low as possible at reduces noise (ISO 64) although the lower you go the less light is let into the lense o the images are darker. To overcome this add more light over the tank. You could try using aperture priority ('A' priority) if you have it. Set the aperture (f/) then the camera will select a shutter speed.

my camera (not brill) has an iso setting from 80-1600? mean anything?

HC next week from AE!!

 

[aaronnorth]

80 will mean less noise in the images. 1600 will work in darkly lit places, but there will be more noise.

I usually shoot on ISO 200.

 

[Truck]

is iso shutter speed?

 

[aaronnorth]

no, although it can change the shutter speed. Having a higher ISO means less light is needed to be let into the lens, therefore the shutter speed will be quicker, however you will get noise on the image.
having a lower ISO (ISO 80) means that a longer shutter speed is necassary in order to let enough light into the lense.

But having a long shutter speed then gives noise a chance to build up! lol. Hence why i shoot on ISO 200-400. Anything higher i get noise. Anything lower and the images are too dark - yes i can set a longer shutter speed such as 1sec so that they are at the correct exposure, but then the fish have moved and also noise still gets the chance to build up.
