How do I adjust the white balance on the Stylus 400 for UW shooting, assuming I decide not to get a filter? Will I get better results with a filter or adjusting WB?

As Leesa notes, the 400 doesn't have a manual WB function. I tried a Red 25B filter with a Stylus 400 and 410, but didn't have much success. Although it brought the red channel up compared to blue and green, it cut out so much light that the camera couldn't autofocus on a lot of shots, and on the ones that it did, the shutter times were so long that camera shake and subject movement became a problem. I only used the filter for 2 or 3 dives before giving up.TravelDave:How do I adjust the white balance on the Stylus 400 for UW shooting, assuming I decide not to get a filter?
