TRV-900 settings for low light

[MaximDim 0]

I'm using Sony TRV-900 with Ikelite housing. Shooting mostly in the Great Lakes, where it's usually quite dark below 60 feet or so. Shooting so far on all auto, except white balance and noticed that camera keeps shutter speed at 60 and using full +18dB gain if it's dark enough (sample can be seen here http://vimeo.com/1261703.

 

I wonder if I playing with shutter speed, say setting it to 30, would make any difference? Or may be there are some other settings I should look at?

 

Would appreciate your thoughts.

Hi

Link does not work.

 

For NTSC lock it off at 60 and the only other thing you can do is make sure you have the ND filter turned off and don't use any colour filter.

If it does goes to +18 again, go to manual exposure and crank it down abit.

I'm not sure if you have access to manual exposure on that housing.

 

30 shutter will be too slow.

 

Bottom line is if there is not enough light then there is not enough light.

Thanks for response. Link fixed.

 

ND filter is off obviously and I don't use any color filters. Well, I guess there are no magic tricks, are there?
