Underwater Settings
One of the most popular questions people ask us is what are the best underwater camera settings they should use for macro or wide-angle underwater photography, on a digital camera. There is no 1 setting for all shots, but I try to give people an idea of what settings they can start with, and how to adjust them underwater. After reading this section, you should read the section changing settings during a dive.
