Minimum shutter speed to freeze the fish?
Re: Minimum shutter speed to freeze the fish?
When I was shooting a compact camera (RX100), if I had it on Aperture priority it would drop shutter speed to 1/30th. Obviously too low.
In frustration after my first use of it, I decided to go to shutter priority and find a speed that froze the fish while keeping ISO as low as possible. I ended up at 1/160th, and I've used that or 1/125th ever since. On my D850 I was at 1/160th for a long time, but recently have started dropping to 1/125th. But there's a big difference to shooting slow shutter speeds at 16mm and 105mm.
Suggest you perform some experiments next time you dive. Try the speeds between 1/125th and 1/500th on your typical fish. See what you can get away with.
