Flatworm Swimming Freely

[ScubaHankNYC]

I was able to capture this Gold-Speckled Flatworm with my Sealife DC2000 off the coast of Egypt in the Red Sea.

very good. I see some background blurring... what aperture was it? While good for this clip, is there a setting that allows sharp and infinite DOF when desired?

I was shooting in Aperture priority mode. However, I don't remember the exact settings. I'm not sure if there is a setting that allows for sharp and infinite DOF. If anyone knows? Please comment. Thanks!

Try f8 with shutter speed of 1/50 and only dial the ISO up or down depending on exposure. This would require full manual settings.

Does this camera have one touch WB?

PS: are you on the 2019 firmware v1.08 and up? What are the improvements?

Thanks for the tip. I'll test these settings. The piano keys are supposed to be programmable for all functions. For some reason, I'm unable to assign white balance. I'm not too sure why, I'm up to date on the firmware.

I was reading the sealife manual and it looks like when shooting close it seems you have switch from infinity focus to auto-focus and this automatically reduces DOF. Not sure if you have the option of close focus and infinite DOF with this gear.

I'm pretty sure I had set on auto focus since it was so small.
