Hi all. I'm new to Underwater photography. I've mainly been using a GoPro 7 for video. I've been reading a lot of the posts in lighting and add one. I understand the basic concepts of App, shutter and iso iso but I don't really have an idea of how to manipulate settings so they work together.
My aim in photography is macro but I also like taking some video and wider angles such as wreck and of my dive buddies. I'd love to put some pics on my wall or make a small book for family presents.
So far I have:
TG6 with housing. I already have a tray with 2 X 1k lumen VL.
I'm tech challenged so easier is better. What I'm thinking of getting is
Backscatter mini strobe with snoot
A VL min 2k lumen
Wide angle air
What I struggle with is the set up. Do I set macro up and save it as C1 (custom 1)? Taking the air into account. BS suggests super macro if the air is on. Then for wider I either set up C2 or just switch to auto.
Do I minimise the VL to about 25% when I'm macro and turn off strobe for wide angle but beef up the VL
Sorry for the length of the post but atm I'm kinda scared to Tweek the settings or even use the camera I the first place.
