oskar 7 Posted August 28, 2009 I have realized that I never ever want to shoot anything but RAW, however the processing lag of my camera is seriously annoying me. Any tricks to make this better? (super fast SD cards? Changing JPEG settings?...) Part of the problems has been internal flash recycle time in cold water. When the G1 was new, there was a rumor on a Sea and sea , hot shoe LED trigger, but I haven't heard of it since then. Cheers /O Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ce4jesus 1 Posted August 28, 2009 Oskar - While digicams have gotten to the point where shutter lag is no longer an issue you've discovered what makes a DSLR invaluable underwater. It drove me nuts when my old Oly would take 8-9 seconds to recharge the strobe and write a RAW file. A lot can happen in 8-9 seconds. Before you investigate an LED system for the camera you might want to turn off the internal strobe and take a RAW photo and measure the time it takes to write to the card. While cards are faster this can still take 3-7 seconds depending on the camera. If this time is acceptable, then you can look for the hotshoe adapter. I know that Inon used to make an adapter for a hotshoe so you might contact reef photo and ask. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paula Schi 0 Posted August 28, 2009 I use the SanDisk Extreme III SD card and it takes about 6 seconds to recycle before you can shoot the next shot. Should be the fastest one on the market- at least for the DX-1G. If I use my strobe I use the highest JPEG quality and when I shoot ambient light I take RAW. Although- a few times I have gone over to taking RAW when I take strobe lighting shots. Otherwise what I have started using is the "HARD" ("img set" to hard to get more contour at the edges). I thought my pics where sort of "fuzzy" but they have gotten a nice sharpness what I missed in my old pictures. May want to try that out. Other thing my buddy wants to try out is using the marco mode when shooting manual. Unfortunately I haven't been in the water for a week to try that one out.
