I've noticed a problem that I seem to encounter a lot. I'll see some interesting fish, who doesn't mind me swimming a couple feet away watching it. But when I lift my camera up and point it at the fish, it becomes afraid and hides. I really think it is the camera that they are responding to, as I can get much closer to fish with the camera by my side than with it pointed forward.
Any ideas why this is? What I can do about it?
I'm using an Olympus housing, which has a red metal ring around the lens port. I wonder if this looks like a large eye to a small fish. Maybe it needs to be obscured, like the stripe through the eye of most butterfly fish.
