Hey all I just got this camera and still learning how to use it. Can someone help me on the optimal settings to use for aquarium photo taking? THanks

The SD's can be finicky with aquarium macros, but my best pictures with a smaller SD, were taken using the help of a magnifying loop. Clean glass, getting close as possible to the glass, a tripod and cutting the pumps helps a bit. You could tune the exposure setting down to compensate for lights.
I would just play with it, you really can't go wrong. For me, it always takes a bunch of picture taking to get one good one.

I have a Canon sd630 which I use while I'm saving up for an SLR-style camera. Some things I've noticed helped:

On manual mode, select evaluate white balance.

Or try some of the modes: such as fluorescent, cloudy, snow, etc.
