Excuse my ignorance as I am just getting ready to shoot my first underwater video.
My question is regarding white balance. Since my housing does not allow for me to take advantage of manual white balance I was wondering if this technique would work...
Let's say I took a picture (non-white balanced) of my dive slate at say 60ft., carribean waters. Now topside, before loading my camera, and knowingly diving similar conditions, I use this picture to manually white balance. Would this have the same effect as white balancing to the slate when actually underwater?
If this would work, could I have a bunch of pictures taken of the slate at different depths, locations, conditions and use these topside to white balance based on the conditions I am about to dive in?
Or...
Is this just a waste of time because WB can be taken care of post, with similar or better results?
Any advice/comments are greatly appreciated.
