Still trying to learn my camera

[Diehl]

Here is a picture of my 90gal. SPS. I just bought a Minolta Dimage Z1 I'm using a tripod but I'm confused on all the settings I should be using.

Anyone that has this camera. Is this the best macro shot I can get?

I've used it before, but more just testing it out. It's a good camera, and the macro shot looks good - maybe a tad overexposed. Try adding -0.3 EV compensation, and also try setting custom white balance using a gray card.

Here's a link on White Balance
