how to take pictures of your corals (camera settings tutorial)

[Berlibee]

1.
You can use sync 2 seconds delay to not shake the camera during exposure.

2.

Shutter Speed / F / ISO
WB is the white balance - HDR OFF
L must the the image quality, should be RAW I suppose in this camera.

3.
Manual is what are the image shooting settings are Shutter Speed / F / ISO
RAW is what is the quality (type of file at the end ) of the image they're different things.

4. I don't think so.

5.
Leave it as it is, you can correct the color balance in Lightroom later.

6.
Nope.

7.
RAW.

Don't take corals out of the tank for shooting.

Berlibee, I'd like to thank you for responding... "Thank You!!" The picture you posted in #2 is what my settings should look like, correct? I had no idea that manual and raw were not the same! I thought Raw meant that a person had to set the the shutter speed, F stop, etc manually! Thanks again!!!

What does setting your camera to Raw do for you. I have a panasonic DMC-LX7 camera. Thanks.

 

[Berlibee]

RAW have much more information inside, so you can adjust it later during the post-processing.

I would like to know too... I want to upgrade from my cell phone shots and get great macros of my SPS that shows the tissue and polyps in high detail close-up. I am doing research on the Nikon D3300. Would be in your price range with money left over for a nice lens.
