I'm just back from a three week stay. These are a few of many taken with an Olympus SP350 in an Ikelite housing and either an Ike DS125 or DS50 strobe. More to come.

As this was the first dive trip with the SP 350 I was pleased with the results. Most shots were F5.6 and with ISO 100. My DS 125 developed problems, so the DS 50 came into play for about half the dives. Next time I'll learn to bracket.

never tried brackets...not sure the increments are sufficiently different (large) from each other to produce a signficantly different exposure? maybe so with a reasonable fstop dialed in (f5.6)?

The DS 125 got a few drops of a leak into the battery side, and would not properly re-charge. Wish I could blame Ike, RIP, but this one is all on me. Obvious salt crystals on the O-ring surely the cause. Live and learn, but I thought I had learned this one long ago.

Ron - I don't know - maybe you need to show us some more so that we can do a proper critique ;-) Maybe - 50 or so more would do the trick.

Please tell me which scene mode you used. I too will be using that same camera next trip.

Ron, thank you for sharing your pictures with us. They are great!!

Marque, I was not happy with the results of any of the underwater scene modes. I use manual mode (M on the dial) and start out at f5.6 at 1/125th of a second, adjusting one or both as needed. Shutter priority (S on the dial) will automatically adjust the F-stop and leave your shutter speed alone. Aperture priority (A on the dial) will leave the F-stop alone while adjusting the shutter speed. Since it's digital, shoot away until you get comfortable. It took me a couple days to get the results I was looking for. It's a great little camera, you are sure to like it.
