I have assembled an underwater video camera with lights and will be taking a dive soon to shoot my first real underwater footage. What I'm not clear about is whether I still need a color correction filter on the camera even though I am using lights. Obviously the video lights will have a limited range, but if I use lights AND a filter in combination, will the filter color correct for the blue/green tint of the water outside the range of the lights but add an unwanted red/magenta tint to the portion of the shot that is within range of the lights?
How do you experienced underwater videographers use your lights and filters? In combination or either one or the other?
