I've just bought a Kodak EasyShare DX6490 and i'm totaly fresh at taking "under water" pictures, how can i get the best results with my cam?

85l - Bad lighting, should i use the blits or just turn up the exposure?
160l - Better lighting

Whats recommended ISO?

I'm going to post a few nasty pictures :oops:

i have this same camera, im starting to get some good shots, but nothing like its best....

These are a couple of my good ones, what do you think to the cam m8 ?

also any ideas on how to improve my pics would be usefull, we can only take the iso down to 80 though, i dont most of my pics between 200 and 800 though, i didnt know to change it....

Good to see i'm not the only one using this camera :)

I like the cam more and more, feel like i have come a little bit closer to my goal :)
If you use the manual mode you can change the ISO in the menu.

Btw. like your third pic. :)

I'm gonna post some of the pics i like the best :)
Using flash, ISO 80, shutter speed 1/30.
