Troubles with Canon G7...

[Myka]

Thanks for your help everyone! I will try what has been suggested, and see if anything helps. I am doing the shots hand held. Some are taken top down using an acrylic viewer, and some are taken from the front glass. I don't usually turn the water movement off. My photos were working quite well like this in the past, but lately it seems I keep getting that awful neon glow. Image stabilizer is always on. ISO isn't showing up on the photo details for some reason, but I never have ISO over 400. Usually at 200 or 100 depending on how bright the light is on that particular coral. White balance is set on "Underwater", which has given me the best shots in the past. I will mess with the WB and see what happens. I don't have a manual white balance, but I do have a "set white balance" where I point to a spot, push the button, and it will set WB for that spot. I remember messing around with that in the past, but found the Underwater setting worked well, so I just stuck with that. I will mess around with Aperture Priority as well. When I'm in Aperture Priority I can't manually change the shutter speed, and vice versa. Would be nice if I could manually change both at the same time.

I will post some new pics soon.

Something that was screwing me up was the angle the lens was facing the glass at.

For example if I was shooting through the glass at a 90 degree angle (camera was at the same height as the subject) then all my shots turned out great, however if I moved the camera above or below the subject so I was shooting at an angle through the glass I found I got blurry focusing.

If your in full manual or "M" you should be able to adjust shutter speed and Aperture. I know I can.
