Hi All, first post - amateur question about red filters.
I'm going diving in the Caribbean in a few weeks with a Sony RX100 IV and Fantasea housing. No strobe or additional lenses/dome, just the camera and housing.
I'm wondering if I should pick up a red lens for the housing, or could the "C.Temp/Filter" white balance setting cranked up to the 'reddest' (9900K) achieve more or less the same effect?
Also/But...the camera has an 'Underwater Auto' white balance setting, so I guess I'm confused about the basics here, as well as how to decide whether to use red filter vs flash.
Appreciate any advice/explanation.
Thanks,
Howard
