New to the board and new to underwater photography. Recently returned from live aboard trip to red sea and got to use my XZ-1 and PT-050 housing for the first time.
Worked fine using the scene mode but as I got more comfortable using it tried to switch to more manual so I could white balance and reduce the blue tinge. However I could only white balance against a white slate with the flash on (no strobes connected yet). As vis was great and was doing a mix of wide angel and macro I wasn't always needing the flash but if I ever tried to white balance with the flash off it would come up:
White Balance NG - Retry?
Is this standard with the XZ-1. Buddy had G12 and could white balance no trouble without using a flash?
