Bro, you just need to get them in focus.

macro mode does not mean you got to place the camera very very near to the subject.

Yea bro Ocellatus you are getting the hang of it

Just to clarify something, brighter SUBJECT means you can use a faster shutter speed. take note it has to be the subject or else the picture won't turn out well (subject would look darker).

if your background is bright, the camera will take into account its brightness and choose a shutter that tries to expose background and subject properly, resulting in an "in between" exposure. in this case, your subject will look dark right? so you need to compensate exposure to..+1 or more (depending). which means the shutter will open longer (to allow more light in), which also means your subject will be properly exposed.

to show you what i mean:


the background is much brighter than the fish. so i had to +2/3 exposure in this case. as a result, the fish will appear properly exposed, and the background brighter than normal (its pale green in colour)

Thanks bro.
Great betta shot.

wah bro lucas....ur corys also kena fall in by u ah?! hahahahaaa.....

Nice shot and very nice cory as usual bro.

Bro illusionist, I've taken 2 pics, first pic using AWB and 2nd pic using the option Daylight. I find that the one using AWB is more natural while the daylight one is alittle yellowish.

How should I select between the 2 options? Thanks.
