Night-time photography with the Pentax Optio W60 is barely possible (the auto focus is not visible infra-red so you can't center your subject unless it is lit).

The W60 has a very limited self-timer option (10 seconds) which makes self-photos at night very difficult. The exposure and focus also locks when you push the shutter on the timer so if you are in front of the camera with your light on so you can see it when you do so and then move back to pick up a fish the shot will be out of focus and the exposure poor.

The lens has no cover and since you can't see through it in the dark when it has water on it you will end up with a ruined shot.

The w60 is a tough little camera and for daytime shots of dead fish it is fine. If you want night photos of something you hope to release you might be able to do better.
