Tusk

I have a powershot s3 is my tank just too dark for good pics with this camera? i have 2 250 halides. am i doomed to only flash shots?

First off what kind of fish is that and are those teeth?!?!

second the s3 has fully manual mode along with aperture priority and shutter priority and a iso speed settable up to 800, if you play around with it and read a coupl eof the stickies at the top of the forum I would think you should be able to get shots without the flash, But I have never used the camera so I can't say for a hundred percent.

Yup the teeth get everyone!
its a harlequin tusk wrasse
a gentle giant with a mouthfull of chompers
reef safe but no inverts. and really messy

i usually do manual mode and can take great shots outside but the ISO makes everything so grainy. and if i do low iso i cant get a shutter that is slow enough to make things light but it blurs with the tripod.

Which means the ccd chip is not sensitive enough for the light that you want I would probably say take the picture with the grain and try to use light room or photoshop to fix it maybe someone else here could give you a better option
