Go to "Manual" mode and change setting until there is enough light that gets through the lens. Even if you are in low lighting conditions, you can still get a great shot. You just have to be in the right settings (aperture and shutter speed).

Yeah, Tongue33 sent me a pm with some settings to try out. They work well. I'm still experimenting though.

Awesome mate! Love the sveni! But where is the venz?

Thanks Jer. The sveni is pretty cool. I haven't had a ven in almost two years though.

ooooo....when did you get the johanna? That other saxatilis is hott as well! Can see the pink coming in too! :D

Had the johanna for about a year and a half. Raised from an idy bitty 2 incher. I'm pretty sure the other sax pike is menezesi, fat and happy.

What settings are you useing?

Shutter speed between 60 and 80 and aperture of 5.6. I was able to get the aperture down to 4.8 yesterday, but when I tried it today it wouldn't go lower than 5.6???

Any recommendations?
 
Still working the settings...
