    Default Mega images blow me away


    I'm still getting use to this Helix Mega and I don't use the DI a whole lot. I was in a deep area on the river and wanted to check out the drop offs to see what if anything was holding on the bottom so to DI I swapped. I personally don't see any fish on the screen, but I could be wrong but I was blown away by the definition this unit shows.

    Also, the image was much clearer on the screen than it shows in this picture. I forgot and left my SD card stuck in my laptop at home and had to resort to taking a picture of the screen with my phone.

    Thanks chimneyman thanked you for this post

    Thanks!

    Seriously, the picture you see is nowhere near as clear as it was on the screen. Mine settings are straight out of the box, factory default.

    And you were worried that you'd never figure it out!

    Great picture!
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    The white marks/dots on the right of the screen "could" be fish. At that depth and speed, I don't know whether or not fish would show up any other way.

    Some images I've taken with my Lowrance Elite 5DSI show fish mostly as white "dots" of varying size. I only have one screenshot that shows images that are obviously fish .... this one :

    Others that I've taken show the cover in great detail, but not so much the fish ... like this one :

    You will notice that my speed & the depth of water are much less than yours.

    I've missed the opportunity to capture some really good screenshots showing suspended fish (loose grouping of white dots) and a group of fish at the edge of a huge ball of Shad (10' high x 20' long) ... but, I was actively engaged in pushing jigs & cranks at the time, and was more focused on trying to catch the fish than capture the screenshots.

    I love my Helix MEGA too. I have started using DI now that I have this unit. Here's some
    stripers in tree tops at Canyon lake last week. The SI is also stellar.
