Taking photos with moving fish

[tidequeen09]

We all know most fish are always on the move. Any tips on how to take photos of fish when they swim with a Samsung S24 phone?

I've tried the pro option on my camera, it worked ok but do I need a fast lens shutter or is there an option for like when people take sports photos and they are clear and not blurry?

Thanks!

I have an S21+ but this is the only option I changed, you can try both in maximum and minimum but what you have to have is a lot of patience, the ones that I think are my best photos have taken me weeks to capture what I really wanted

I get a few decent shots panning the camera. Its a technique I used to use when photographing birds in flight.

You can either use a faster shutter speed or pan the camera so that you keep the fish centred.

A combination of both will work best. Not sure how much you can change the shutter speed on that device.

Lol if the fish doesn't keep still I take a video and screenshot the best image off of that

That was going to be my advice, haha.

Is it possible to select Fstop, Shutterspeed and ISO on the phone?
I would guess the phone thinks the pic's are going to be to dark and won't put the shutterspeed faster.
If you can select this manually, try a shutter speed of 1/250 and move along with the fish. Keep ISO at 800 and take a pic. If it is to dark, add some exposure in postprocessing.
If it is TO dark, up the ISO a bit to 1250 or something. I don't know if this is going to be nice out of a phone, but with a normal camera you can get away with ISO 1250 and some noise reduction.
