Image 'burn'

[LULA]

Hi all!!

I have a sony trv 33E with a ikelite housing, and I have a problem that is: when I'm diving with for example 30 meters visibility in the film only apears like 20 meters, the rest is a bit like white ( we in portugal use the expression image burn) even filming with the sun behind me.Can someone help me or give advice?

Thank you.

P.S: sorry for my bad english:lol:

The wider the angle of the add-on lens you have, the better the visibility will look. If you have a fisheye lens, you can make 20-foot vis look like 100 ft.

It sounds as if you are more concerned with the "image burn". It sounds to me like your exposure is too high. You might try to turn your gain down a little which will increase your contrast and get things back to normal. In fact, switch everything, temporarily to auto and then only change one setting at a time. For example, first with manual focus, if thats ok, then with manual white balance and so on.
Hope this helps your imaging.

DITTO--YOU'RE BURNING OUT YOUR IMAGE WITH TOO MUCH EXPOSURE. ALSO, TRY TO "IRIS DOWN" IF YOU CAN DO THAT MANUALLY.

First of all , thank you all for the help , I usually use everything in auto :shakehead :newbie: the exposure I can set up manualy (i'll start there) I should reduce it right?? now the white balance it's a different story, my camera only allow to change to predefined programs like: indoor, outdoor, hold and auto Which one is the best?? and should I start by calibrating the exposure and then change to the best white balance or vice-versa??

P.S- I have a external fisheye (sea and sean)

Thanks.

For now, keep your white balance in "auto" mode. Light conditions change constantly effecting the white balance. If you had manual on WB, you would need to carry a white card with you and set the WB at each different location you shoot. If your shooting in "auto" mode on the cam, I really don't know why it's over exposing---maybe there is a problem with the cam.
