But the problem I had is that the TG-2 (and I think the later models are the same) have no manual focus setting, and I could not get good focus on corals when the pic was taken through the glass. Also a tip (my apologies if this is old hat to you) is to use the manual white balance setting to get accurate colour (instead of blue dominant). I just pointed the camera to a white sand part in the tank and registered that for a setting. Colours would then come out near perfect. Sometimes still needed to play around a bit with exposure, flash or no flash, but most times pics were pretty easy to get near perfect. I used this camera for snorkeling in Hawaii (mounted on a selfie stick), too, and worked great with vids, too. |
Walter, I found that I never really use the SLR, too bulky to carry around on holidays, etc.
I'll try a FTS today with the new one, I suspect it's fine. I did a couple shots through the glass as well, they focused fine. Not real sure how that all works. I fought with the WB using a white plastic sheet, no luck. Pointed at the sand, bingo :) I like that it has the separate custom WB, I don't have to mess around with it each time. I'm going on vacation in a couple of weeks, so I'll get to try it out on a variety of shots. Currently I use my phone over the SLR. I've had the Nikon 6 or 7 years, I maybe have 500 shutter clicks on it. |
It might have to do with my acrylic pane. It is scratched, and coralline algae loves it. So the auto focus tends to pick it instead of the corals.
