If on auto and you have some kind of scene mode, try sports. That favours shutter speed.
If not, try TV which is shutter priority and then bring your shutter speed up to somewhere around 1/250th.
That should get you in the ball park if the camera lens and ISO can match up the exposure triangle to allow it.

Thank you. :cheers:
I've used Sport mode alongside manual focus quite successfully.

On my previous cameras it was auto-focus that was giving me the biggest headache, where the focus system couldn't keep up with the movement of the fish.

I do plan on learning how to use the camera without relying on the preset modes so I'll be keeping an eye here and anywhere else I can pick up any tips.  :)

If I can ever help in any way, just ask. I know my way around an SLR.
Same goes for any members on here.

I have a feeling this could/should be a whole other thread.


I wonder if a 'questions for experts' type of thread might be the best way ... I know there are at least a few members here that consider themselves proficient with a DLSR that might be willing to answer questions.
The problem with this idea is that we learners might not even know the best questions to ask depending on our existing knowledge.


Perhaps a "Tips for aquarium photography" thread started by a member with the relevant knowhow would be a better way forward.

Just throwing ideas out for the time being.

Ref the not knowing what to ask...
The best thing you can do is post up an image thats got problems, along with its EXIF info if you know how to get it.

That way we can see the issue... blur perhaps, and also see all the image data.

If you (or others reading) are not sure what EXIF is:

For this image:


The EXIF looks like this:



From this we can determine what went wrong, and what settings you could try to counteract the issue.

If the above image was blurred and we needed to cut down the exposure time, I could for example tell you to set ISO to 800 which would double the shutter speed and it would look exactly the same. (Well, almost,. the exposure was long because the water was choppy and I wanted it smooth)

Or I could suggest setting to f/4 instead of f/8 for the same result, albeit with a little less depth of field.
(Front to back focus)

I like the idea of a photography thread. We've got a decent camera..... but it's cleverer than me and keeps trying to do its own thing. Focussing on the glass is especially annoying. >:(

I photography thread is a really good idea, but I can't decide which section it should be in. General Fishkeeping Chat? General Non-fishkeeping Chat?

I wonder if @Robert could maybe create a photography board in the same section as Non Fishkeeping GC or even as a sub-forum of GC...

Agreed - for now it sits beneath gallery showcase, let's see how it progresses. :)
