Settings for fish shots?

[Fordy]

I have been trying to shoot some shots of my fish, but as they are constantly moving I have trouble getting a clear picture of them.... the best pics I have a with a faster shutter speed but are still not 100% crisp. I have seen photos on here where the fish are pictured with excellent quality.

Any tips on settings??

what camera are you using??

Panasonic Lumix FZ-50

if you bump up your ISO a bit it will allow you faster shutter speeds again, however be wary of image noise when you do that

Will give it a go....

Upping the ISO will result in grainy images. Try opening the aperture a bit more (say f/.5) aswell. I find that my images come out very dark so sometimes just get the best I can and change them on Photoshop. Not the best option but the only one I have. :(

This is one photo I have taken... The fish was still for me though. Its the problem with moving fish I cant seem to get!

What shutter speed are you using? I'd try 1/250 or maybe 1/400 for a clearer shot of something moving.
