Hi 2 all divers,
My name is Nic and i am 33 years old. Last year was diving in Egypt with a rented camera and it was so much fun that i bought the dc1400 with light and strobe this year.
I will go to Ko Phi Phi in 4 weeks to enjoy some dives. That is why i would like to ask you kindly if you can help me with the basic settings and some hints for beginners to get the maximum out with this new camera on my first dives. It would be very helpful and it would save me a lot of time.Thanks.
The biggest question I have is about the video light. Do you recommend selcting a mode inside the battery case with flash cancellation=on and what are the exact benefits of using it? Which mode do you recommend in general?
For snorkeling, I think i will go out without the light and the strobe. What snorkel mode do you recommend for the Andaman sea? Blue or Green water?
Many Thanks for any of your recommendation in advance and always "good air",
Nic
Edit 1: Today i was in the swimming pool for getting used to the camera. Pix came out nicely ;D. I went inside mode "C" which means flash cancellation is on and the fact i noticed was that the flash did not dimm at all. Maybe it was not deep and dark enough (approx 7 feet) for the automatic detection? On some close ups I clearly can see a hotspot from the video light.
