Make that a good habit. Always on the tripod.
The fishes still looks blur. Ideally, you should freeze swimming fishes by shooting at shutter priority with at least 1/250 sec onwards. You can compromise on DOF since it doesn't need much DOF to shoot the fishes swimming on water surface because the composition itself has very shallow DOF.

Hi Blitz,
Using a polarizer for the fish shots might help to eliminate the reflection from the water and make the fishes to have better contrast.

Thanks ziploc.
I heard from Kevin about polarizer as well. How about normal day shots etc... does a polarizer helps in anyway?

Hi Blitz,
Yup, in day shots polarizer will also help to reduce glares and reflections from glass, and make the sky looks bluer.
Blitz, I think what iiioloiii meant is setting the shutter speed to 1/250 manually not the aperture. You let the DC to decide what aperture for you and this auto aperture setting will compromise your DOF. Check out page 84 of the PDF manual.Originally posted by Blitz
Hi iiioloiii,
So I will need to decrease the Aperture in order to reduce the DOF?
Sorry quite new to manual controls
Thanks!
