Fuji finepix s1000 best way to use?

[Metalhead]

Hi Just bought myself a fuji finepix s1000, im certainly no expert on cameras so i think a dslr would have been wasted on me, i was just wondering if anyone has one of these and can get decent shots of their tanks out of it and if so which settings are best. I really am a complete novice but would like to finally post some shots of my tank on here and atm i am struggling to get any decent shots off that are worthy of posting, im certainly not trying to win any awards for photography but would like to post some passable pics for everyone to peruse and comment on good or bad :thanks:

Bump again but i guess it looks like no one has one and therefore cant help me:scratchhead:

Jack,

I don't have any experience with the camera you have but I'll point you at the following website as it's a great introduction into tank photography:

Hi,im no use either,i bought a fuji finepix s5600 for tank shots as the guys pics were fab,i still cant get good clear closeups,tried everything..its got extra macro lenses too....i wonder if its because of the thick glass it cant focus on the subject that good...or maybe its just me:whistling:
