Hi all ordered a waterproof case considering the phone's are not waterproof in saltwater or so I've read.
That being said for now I'm stuck out of water but playing with pro mode.
I'd like to get the attachable lens but none are compatible with S9 or does anyone know of a lens compatible with S9.
Heres a few shots I've taken.

I use an app called camera x on the play store, allows me to adjust the settings accordingly, works really well

Right on. What settings do you use, under what lighting if you dont mind? Are you taking them above or underwater?
Can you post some pix?

Thanks for the reply.

The settings depends entirely on each individual shot, it's effectively an SLR set up.
These pictures are with normal camera (tinted blue) and with camera x (normal colours)
It's done under a stock light on a Fluval Evo with added blue filters to help with future coral colouration

I haven't, my phone is waterproof so I definitely could if I wanted to but I'd rather not dip my phone in and risk a contaminant getting into the tank
True. That's why I ordered a waterproof case to strictly use to take underwater pix and keep sterile.
Not sure if your I phone is waterproof in salt water.. The galaxy S9 is not.

I've taken it in the sea before and it's survived ;Joyful
