Re: RX100 with Sea&Sea YS-D1 in Croatia Pag

Click on the image and DPReview will show the settings used. f5, ISO 400, 1/160th.

I was shooting in shutter priority to have minimally good shutter speed.  (Above water I shoot mostly in aperture priority).  I started in Aperture priority, but the RX100 was going down to 1/30th and I was getting a lot of blurry shots.

I dialed the camera back -0.3, plus dialed the strobes back typically -2/3 stop in TTL mode.  For this mostly-white subject I should have dialed the strobes back more.  Live and learn.

I had to post-process every shot I took, changing color temp, black point, saturation and typically cutting highlights while boosting shadows.  Sometimes adding some sharpening as well.  Lightroom 5.7.  I like the Sony sensor, and the lens isn't bad, but the rest of the camera is wanting for someone used to shooting a Nikon DSLR.  Shutter lag was better than my other point-n-shoots, but nothing like a DSLR.  Autofocus was my biggest issue, with several nice shots messed up due to the camera focusing in the background.  The menu system really bugs me, but it might be OK once I set up My Menu to have settings I need a lot.

Doesn't really matter as I now have a housing for my D810, so I may not use the RX100 underwater any more.
