Good Photos Are Not A Problem!
(Harley Winter - 3/27/07)I live on an island in the South Pacific and am in the water about 4 days a week. I shoot about 200 pics a week with the DC500 and generally am very pleased with the camera. It took me several trips to get used to the camera and its quirks but now am able to set up shots from Macro and beyond with little to no problem.
Two things I changed which have helped immensely are (1) switched to a Sea & Sea YS 120 flash which is generally set at about 1/2 power with the DC500 set at 1Meter exposure even for macro shots and (2) screwed a small 6 inch flexible tripod onto the bottom of the flash frame mount under the camera body. I then set the camera onto the surface (sand or reef) carefully to let the autofocus do its job and then snap the pic.
