New Camera

[shockshockshad]

I got a new camera that has an aquarium mode, and of course, I went crazy with it! Here are some pics of my fish:
Welcome to my aquarium:

Here is a cory on a rock (but the pics of all of the cories are blurry)

Thanks!

deja vu. i have the same camera as you! xD

Since we have the same camera, what steps and which buttons do i do?

 

[celaeno]

i'm an amateur myself and can only get decent photos using the flash.

but what i do is set it to auto (the aquarium setting has too high an iso), use the flash, press the button halfway to focus. then when you're ready, press it down fully to take the shot.

and try not to use the zoom in feature.

Well, make sure your hands arent shaky. I would just try normal mode and turn macro on for the individual fish and take more than one pic of the same thing if you arent already doing that Most people have to take at least like 3 to get 1 good picture so the more you have the better the chances.

I try for my hands not to be shaky! Thank you all for helping me....I will try to take better pics!

yes it is hard especially if your camera doesn't process the image right when you click. it took me over half hour to take just a few images myself.

thats a really nice tank, what lighting do you have? and do you use CO2?
