I'm trying to get as much practice as I can with this little camera, and it really bugs the heck out of me, that I it won't focus in low light. I purchased an Ikelite housing and strobe for underwater and I'm worried about the low light conditions underwater. I made another purchase. A mini c light mounted on the strobe/arm to illuminate my subjects. Now I can't get the configuration right to aim the light at what I'm shooting. Macro close up of dogs nose. I need help.

light has to be pretty low to create a problem (nite dive)...

not sure about the focus options on that particular camera - see if there is some sort of "aperature" vs "shutter" priority for the AF. "shutter" means a focus lock, "aperature" does not...might help...

otherwise, try a different mounting option - ie rubber band the mini-c to the strobe head - the mini-c should be close to pointing at the same point attached like that...

and keep experimenting;)



keep practicing;)

Thanks, Bob. I do have the mini-c light mounted on my strobe arm. I'm hopeful, I'll be able to take some descent pictures under water in Feb. If not, I'll have to visit a local camera buff/expert to help me. Any ideas who can give me some pointers while on island?
