Canon G1 X Video Performance Underwater

[nealbruton]

I have recently purchased a Canon G1 X camera and am really battling to get a decent quality video underwater.

The still shots are stunning but I cannot seem to get the correct white balance, colour mix and exposure for videos on 1920X1080 resolution.

Can anyone possibly assist?

Do manual white balance before shooting (assuming you're not using lights)?

Shooting video is very different from taking stills
As a start I would recommend to check if your camera is capable of exposure and focus lock and also to get a filter for your wide angle lens
In my signature you have a link to my YouTube channel the recent videos are shot with an obsolete Sanyo xacti with an inon uwl100 and a push up filter
For macro you need a decent focus light
