Thanks, helpful. I will be taking the camera snorkelling and have ordered to Flash Diffuser FD-1. Would you suggest using the hand held torch settings or the strobe settings?
hello Mike, as usual your video are very informative , precise and very easy to follow. But I need your help, I am trying to understand what is the use for underwater of the exposure shift control in the TG5 /6 To be honest I dont even understand what it does :-) Thanks in advance
You mean the exposure compensation? The computer in the camera looks at the amount of light in the center of the photo, averages it out as a meter reading, and sets the exposure settings that are set on auto. This might just be shutter speed or it could be shutter speed, ISO, and aperture. When you adjust the exposure compensating, you're getting the camera to take its light meter reading then change the settings to be brighter or darker than it wants to set automatically. It's like adding a "fudge factor". =)
@@underwatermacrohowto9373 thank you for your answer Mike , but I was not refering to exposure compensation, I was really wondering about the item called "exposure shift control " it is in both tg 5 and 6 in the 5 it is the first item on the list of the settings ( the little wheel) when you click on it it gives you a choice based on the type of exposure !!
Hi. Thanks for the informative video. I am snorkelling and do not have an external strobe / flash. Do you think 1/100 minimum shutter speed will work in that situation? I started out with the underwater auto mode and was experiencing camera blur. Hence experimenting with min shutter speed. Also what do you think about using the built in flash underwater while snorkelling. Many thanks.
Change the strobe to high output, it's in the quick menu, and you have to get close for it to work, so it's only good for macro. For wide-angle, I usually just go with ambient light and focus on getting the right white balance. 1/100 should be OK as long as the fish are slower. You might see some blurred tails. If so, bump the ISO up a couple of settings and use aperture mode with the largest aperture (lowest F-stop, should be F2.0).
If I'm taking pictures of flowers in bright sunlight, what would you recommend those 3 settings be? My flower pictures were over exposed -- too much light. I'm not sure how to fix it. Thank you!
very detailed tutorial, thanks a lot!
Very helpful. Thank you Mike!

If you click on the info button it gives a bit of an explanation of what it does.
Very good. Thanks

@@underwatermacrohowto9373 Great. Many thanks for the prompt response. I will give that a go.

Use the expose compensation function to darken the image without adjusting any of the 3 settings (iso, aperture and shutter speed)
For TG6, the upper limit ISO could not be set lower than 400.
Hi sir do u know how to set the picture setting to 16:9 ? Thank
I do marijuana macro but can't perfect my photos Hope this helps, thanks for the tips
