If you are shooting RAW and JPG at the same time, you can set the JPG quality as well.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Image Review:<\/strong> &nbsp;2 seconds<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Beep: <\/strong>&nbsp;Disable<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Release button without card: <\/strong>&nbsp;OFF. &nbsp;By setting this to OFF, you eliminate the chance that you think you are recording images when you are not. If there is no memory card in the camera it simply won&#8217;t fire and you will know immediately to 1) add a card, or 2) enjoy your dive without worrying about a camera.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Lens aberration correction: <\/strong>&nbsp;Enable Peripheral illumination and Chromatic aberration. If you don&#8217;t do this, your final images will still be ok because your post-processing software also has these camera and lens correction algorithms built-in, and worse case, you can manually compensate for these individual lens characteristics.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Flash Control: <\/strong>&nbsp;If you are using TTL flash power, then no changes are necessary. If you are using manual strobe power, then you will want to turn the built-in flash to manual power and set it to the lowest setting for fastest recycle time. Do this by entering <strong>Flash Control<\/strong>, then selecting <strong>Built-in flash settings<\/strong>, then setting <strong>Flash mode<\/strong> to Manual. After that, move down to <strong>flash output<\/strong> and set that to 1\/128. Done!<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Screen 2<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Auto Lighting Optimizer: <\/strong>&nbsp;OFF. &nbsp;We don&#8217;t want the camera making these types of exposure assumptions for us.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Screen 3<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Picture Style: <\/strong>&nbsp;Standard. This is my personal preference so that the LCD shows me an idea of how my photo will look after post-processing the RAW file. Some prefer neutral so that they see what the unprocessed RAW file will look like. It&#8217;s totally up to you. If you have a special processing style, you can even create custom picture styles.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Screen 4, 5 and 6<\/strong> do not need any changes from the default settings except for advanced users who know exactly why they are adjusting those settings.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"rtecenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-6661\" src=\"https:\/\/www.uwphotographyguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/canon-7dmk2-menu-settings-1.JPG\" style=\"width: 300px; height: 225px;\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.uwphotographyguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/canon-7dmk2-menu-settings-1.JPG 640w, https:\/\/www.uwphotographyguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/canon-7dmk2-menu-settings-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.uwphotographyguide.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/02\/canon-7dmk2-menu-settings-1-600x450.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>&nbsp;<\/h2>\n<h2>AF MENU TAB<\/h2>\n<p>The Autofocus menu also doesn&#8217;t need any adjustments before shooting underwater.

Fisheye lenses are great all-around underwater lenses while wide-angle lenses are best for shooting subjects that are further away, like sharks and&nbsp;<a href=\"\/photographing-schools-of-fish\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none;\">schools of fish<\/a>. Video shooters will often select their wide-angle lens over the fisheye for tighter framing in their shots.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">The Tokina 10-17mm fisheye is hands down the most popular lens for wide-angle use underwater for both Canon and Nikon crop sensor shooters. Keep in mind that there&#8217;s a lot that goes into choosing the right lens, especially if you also plan to use it topside. Some of these include: price, weight, filter sizes (77mm vs. 82mm), vignetting properties with your favorite filters, as well as lens speed (for bokeh or low light use).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px;

So for 30fps, you should be using a shutter speed of 1\/60. Since this is fixed, the variables that control exposure become aperture and ISO.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\"><strong>Aperture:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">Selecting the right aperture for your shot is a balance between depth of field and available <a href=\"\/underwater-photography-ambient-light-manual-white-balance\" target=\"_blank\">ambient light<\/a>. Stopping down the aperture provides more depth of field but limits the ambient light hitting the sensor. When you open up the aperture you decrease depth of field but allow more light to reach the sensor, which is especially important for crisp color from your video lights. But if you get too close to the subject or use too small an aperture, you&#8217;ll notice that background elements in the scene are out of focus. While this is ok in some macro shots it&#8217;s not ideal for wide-angle. In summary, aperture settings will vary depending on each shot you&#8217;re setting up.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\"><strong>ISO:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">The easiest setting is to leave your ISO on auto. You can also limit the ISO range through the 7D MkII&#8217;s menu, setting an upward limit of 6400 (for example). This is nice if you&#8217;re panning or looking for quick shots. Advanced video shooters will opt for manual ISO control to make sure the exposure doesn&#8217;t change mid-shot if the camera meters the scene differently.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\"><strong>Pro Tip:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: #000000; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, 'Bitstream Vera Sans', sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">Shoot All-I and not IPB.
