Re: Cebu, Philippines

I shot them all high ISO because I am not happy with the rx100 at lower shutter speeds. The VR/anti-shake is really bad, and even on dry land, I get blurry pictures at 1/80th of a second. So, since there is even less light under water, I took no risk what so ever, and set the ISO to 1600, fixed.

I have noticed that the, especially with the whalesharks, the results would have been better with an ISO of 800 or 400, because with most of the shots, I would have gotten an acceptable fast shutter speed. But it was a trade off, I hate fiddling with the buttons and settings underwater.

I did some more post, and most of the times, I am happy. Just some shots where the noise might bother you.

Thanks for the tips and feedback!
