Because the G12 can shoot in RAW mode, it's very easy to correct the white balance, which is thrown off by underwater lighting. Also, you can bring back the reds and the blacks, which are very difficult to capture in JPEG.<br />All of that said, the housing does make focus difficult, because you can no longer feel the half-press detent of the shutter button, where it focuses, but doesn't yet release the shutter. So you have to slowly press it down, and watch the camera to see when it indicates focus lock, all the while keeping the moving subject in the frame, while you, the camera, and the subject are all being moved at different rates by the waves and currents. So maybe 1/3 of the pictures are actually sharp and composed, and a smaller fraction of those are good.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14322168910038834763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346382552965660169.post-38941181580521254942012-11-10T20:09:25.523-07:002012-11-10T20:09:25.523-07:00Man, I wish I had the eye for photography that you...Man, I wish I had the eye for photography that you two have! Just went through the slideshow. Gorgeous. What sort of camera/equipment do you have for underwater photos? I remember when I was at the Great Barrier Reef and saw so many creatures of so many colors that I previously thought were unnatural! Bright pinks, yellows, etc. Your pics remind me of that, the vibrancy of nature's colors. I love the photo of the crab. =)Christinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2346382552965660169.post-91343301284118578452012-11-04T17:31:25.210-07:002012-11-04T17:31:25.210-07:00It's amazing, and closer and more affordable t...It's amazing, and closer and more affordable that you might think.
