New to the forum, couldn't find answers even though I've read through just about every post with "MX-10" in the title. I've also looked for the Liburdi book (The New Guide to Sea & Sea) but no luck finding it. Plus I'm leaving in a few days.
I have an MX-10, but no YS-40. Not sure I'll be able to find one to rent on Vieques. Assuming I won't, need some basic info. Plan on doing mostly snorkeling although I hope to get in at least one dive. I understand that most people are horrified with the idea of taking shots without the YS-40, but am wondering if the water there will be clear enough and bright enough to get away with it; perhaps there is someone who has had success with just the internal flash or no flash at all.
1. ISO 100 or 400? (Most of what I've read suggests 100).
2. Internal flash or no flash at all?
3. Assuming that I'll be getting in fairly close before I shoot, what aperture should I go with (w/flash choices are 4.5 or 11, w/out choices are 4.5, 5.6, 8, 11, 16, 22).
If anyone goes through the trouble to answer these rookie questions, I will be extremely grateful...thank you.
