Sony RX100 / Langkawi

[Nieary]

Hey!
Here is the video taken by Sony RX100 (I used it first time).
I think it's pretty good compact camera to underwater use.
Video is from Pulau Payar (Langkawi/Malaysia, Feb 2014).

Did you use a filter or white balance in water?

 

[Nieary]

No filter, but yes I set white balance many times during the dive.
I used Inon UWL-H100 wide lens and Sola 500 video light too.

The colours seem off with too much magenta it doesn't look right. It's a common issue with this camera and custom WB error 9900K. May be worth investing in a filter if you get that error

 

[Nieary]

Thanks fo the advice. Yes I get that error. Filter is maybe good when shooting video or pictures with natural light.
Do you know can I use the filter with Inon wide lens.. is it compatible?

I use a deeproof push on filter made of glass and then leave the camera in Auto like in this example

Don't know what editing program you use but usually white balance is off at least +3 in magenta so you need to rebalance in editing
Don't need to move the white point just lower the tint around 25-30%

Thanks for the tips!
