    OR

    Go to THIS SITE for the camera manual.

    Try this:

    1. Set camera to M for MANUAL (p. 18) and set ISO to 400. You might be able to set the ISO using the menu BUTTON.
    2. Now set camera mode to S for SHUTTER SPEED (p. 10)
    3. Set shutter speed to 1/60 (p. 10)
    4. Set camera to center zone focus (p. 24), then set camera to the closeup mode using the flower icon (p. 18). Get with 28" or less of the tank and take a picture.
    5. Post the picture so I can see if that helped.
