This will, in effect...zoom the rest of the displayed image...making the structure bigger on the screen..

I was running side scan last night looking for fish and found this
Now I usually like blue for DI but I was using this color on the SI and just switched over to DI. I have seen pictures that are crystal clear of tree branches, brush piles, etc. I was trying to figure out if there were any fish holding on this. Either way I marked it since I am not sure what piles look like vs just a tree top. I also tried 800 instead of 455 but the picture appeared to get worse. School me on if this is worth coming back to, and how to get a better image off of it.

Depending on the overall depth of this lake, pond ect that could be a great spot depending on the time of year. Lone structure like that will hold fish at some point. If this is a spot that leads to a location where they bed in spring it could be a transition spot going up in there. If this is the deepest spot then winter would be a good time to come back to it. Mark any good looking structure, it's just a waypoint but could be a waypoint that loads the boat one day. After a while you will find that you have several locations marked for anytime of the year or can look for others that match to stay on fish.

Looks like a Lowrance touch?
If so, I don't think the range settings are there. I know of no way to essentiallt eliminate the top of the water column.
You set the total range to fit the depth. You can zoom in by pushing the + button. But that really degrades the clarity.
If I'm wrong, please correct me.

You may be correct for all the HDS...Originally Posted by brettw
I'm probably mis-interpreting the manual for those units...
It states...
Range - Used to select the section of the water column- from the surface to the bottom- shown on the display

I think that its good to try different colors. Some days I like one color, but on another day, a different color appeals to me

Rickie those are for sonar settings. If there is a bottom lock like the 2d has I haven't found it, I just zoom in.
Lake conditions play a big role in clear images.

No DI Botton lock.
Don't use 2D , maybe I should

Just pres the + once and it zoom in for a closer look
I would also try the blue screen for DI
Also looks like the Contrast is set for Auto but with a -5 bias. I would bring that to 0 but stay in Auto
