I currently have a SeaLife DC 1200 and two strobes for still shots. The macro and super macro are incredible but the image capture speed is super slow. For intermediate distance and bigger fish I rarely get what I'm shooting at because the fish leave between pressing the shutter release and actual image capture.
I use a GoPro Hero 5 for UW video because the DC 1200 video is really contrasty. Getting good color with just filters on the GoPro is spotty. Too deep and it's too blue, etc.
So I'm thinking of the TG 5 for both stills and video.
Can you adjust the white balance on the fly or is it just one preset? I guess if I shoot RAW I can adjust the white balance after image capture so that might not be a bit deal.
I saw a lady running a straight video light for stills and video and it seems like that might have it's charms, like being able to see your exposure on the LCD back before the shot. Seems like strobes spook the fish and make followup corrected shots a bit iffy.
Any and all feedback is welcome.
