I am intending on purchasing the Sony RX100 VA camera for underwater videography.
The Sony cameras have a maximum custom white balance of 9900K which leads to imperfect white balance. Most divers use filters to compensate for this shortfall. My question is how much of an effect do these filters have on the low light performance of the camera as it only has a 1" sensor?
I have read in other guides that the filters do between 1 to 1 1/2 stops of light reduction. In real world applications has anyone found these filters to significantly effect the low light performance of the RX100? With the filter what is the most common ISO setting for underwater filming?
I intend to use lights for close range/macro filming however lights are ineffective for medium range/large/skittish subjects.
Any advice is appreciated.
