so far so good. have you tried to use the macro feature,and if so try to keep it steady or use a tripod. this was taken close to the glass without flash.

pic did not load will try later.

in the mean time try to setup a custom file for use on your tank.you cansetup the WB first.

 

[jerl77]

that was in marco and yes close to the glass no flash how you know that?

 

[jerl77]

marco is the little flower thing right any place i can take lessons?

 

[Alex]

here's a pic taken without flash.

 

[Alex]

yes it is , just make sure it is on when taking your pic

 

[Alex]

setting your WB is easy just get a piece of white PVC and place it in your tank under your lighting and adjust the WB.
Then save that in custom and use it every time you take pics of your tank. it will give you correct color in your tank.

 

[jerl77]

how you take that pic please tell me the settings damm thats a nice shot

 

[jerl77]

will a tripod help me the pics dont seem to come out clear why?

 

[Alex]

I used a tripod, with a custom setting I setup for my tanks Lighting. and macro.

here's another under LED lights.

Because no matter how steady you think you are, at such a high zoom level you really aren't that steady.

 

[jerl77]

is that why they are not clear?bucuze of me shaking

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

It's one possibility, Try the chair method. Taks a high enough backed chair and move it to in front of your tank. Rest the camera on it as you take the picture. See if that helps. Shaking effects lots of things. Focus is one of them.

 

[Alex]

The G9 does not focus well when used in the zoom method. The camera has to be at its widest mm which is 7.4 and on macro. this will give you the best focused shot. also don't forget that the angle of the aquarium can also blur a photo.

 

[Alex]

I just tried to see how close and measured approx 1/2 inch

 

[Alex]

Another item you can get is the underwater housing. you can use it on vacation or your tank.

 

[jerl77]

whats a vacation?:lol:

 

[Alex]

hey jeremy how's it going, lets see some pics.

Unless you have bow front; "Pratice makes Perfect".

But the pics are really nice, especially for someone learning how to use a new camera.

 

[jerl77]
