Two underwater cases for the S3. The second one is more reasonably priced but requires the Canon adapter.

even at 12x zoom, handheld shots at max zoom in such lightins can cause pictures to be abit soft (due to handshake).. wif e TC, u're stretchin e competence of e S2/S3. so when every slightest shake wld be more prominent now..
an experiment my fren did in poor lightin was wif e S2 in poor lightin.. even on a tripod, u can see some softness on e img.

For tripod, its best to set it on the 2 second timer, so there is as little shake as possible.

This was a handheld shot at full tele, no USM.

Larger Image Here.

The full size image from the camera is quite sharp. Of course, shooting at a shutter of 1/1000 helps.
wishxtreme's shots were at 1/100, so slight camera shake will show up.

Hey,

Shooting at such fast shutter speed, even with the fastest F/Stop will still be under-exposing the pic leh. Any trick? I tried setting the ISO to 200 liao. Set EV?

Actually, that is the sky over Johor. That stuff you see in the background is Malaysia, I was at Punggol Point when I took this.

yeahz.. it ought to be bright sunlight. judgin by e fact dat e white of e tug boat is dat exposure.. if it's a cloudy day, it'll look really dull. it looks like a dark day due to e fast shutter speed..

 

[lastboltnut]

Yah, that's what I make up......but didn't see much of sharp shadow.....so a bit wierd, may be to me only. Nice pic still!

The sun was almost face onto the boat, so shadows would be more to the rear.

Nice pic still!
