Haha... you got the shutter speed and ISO mixed up [smilie=lol.gif] Shuttle usually comes in format like 1/xx [smilie=biggrin.gif]
By the way, mine to share with us more info on this EXIF reader in the software forum? Sounds interesting.

lol .....thought it couldn't be too hard till I downloaded the exif reader and put a thumbnail on there and saw all the information [smilie=fear2.gif]
so shuttle would that be the 1/80?
have just spotted a post bout the sony717 - after reading Paradise's setting have just gone and had another play ......using manual settings
- have been having a few probs getting them right.....need to recharge the battery then will download and have a look - but there does look to be an improvement in the lighting and fish colours which have been coming out a bit overexposed

Yes, that's right! 1/80 is the shuttle speed. The 717 is a pretty cool camera. Play around with it and I am sure you will get to find the settings that are most useful for your setup.
Hey Sue, think you got no prob on the exposure parameters. I think you can more focus on the composition thingy. The 3 fishes were too close to the edge of the photo which diverse the attention. Try arrange the eyes of the 3 fishes near the spots that are 1/3 photo width/height from the edge of the photo.
