Hey All...took my EPL1 and Oly housing out for the first time... and while it worked great for the most part I had two quick questions:
1) I had issues with the WB giving me a NG (no good) when I tried to set custom white balance at depth off my slate. By depth I mean around 90ft (so my thought is that there was too much color leeching for the camera to correct it, or just not enough light for it to properly balance) Is this the case? (I have no strobes or lights yet...)
2) I was able to get the white balance to work around 60ft, but it really brought out the grain in the images (haven't had a chance to check the video yet) and you can see grainy red dots along the images (see sample)...is this fixable..either for next time or in post...my photoshop skills are limited, but I can follow directions really well
again, I know i was pushing the camera in tougher conditions. Was shooting aperture mode, wide open with the 14-42 lens @ 3.5 and had to push the ISO to 1600 to get the shutter to be decent enough to not just get blurred images (around 1/20-30). shooting in about 20-30ft viz between 65-90ft depth.... any thoughts let me know. Strobes are on my list, just need time to save up the dough. Otherwise I've been liking the camera a lot.
