Hi,
I have a brand new 3 Pack of 50mm x 50mm (2" x 2") square Internal Auto-Magic Filters for Underwater Digital Photography and Video for sale.
I bought this pack a few weeks ago for my Canon S100 and WP-DC43 housing, but have decided to use a external version.
They are brand new and not opened / used
This can fit on any compact camera.
This retails from the magic-filters website (where I bought it) for £30, happy to sell it for £20 with free worldwide shipping.
PM me if interested.
Full details on this product is below:
(Internal mounting filter for blue water)
The Auto-Magic filter was designed for digital compact cameras, but works equally well on video and all digital cameras. This internal mounting filter is a 3 pack with the filter size (50x50mm, 2"x2" square) that can be easily cut with scissors and attached to the lens of almost any digital compact camera or the inside of the port of your housing.
The Auto-Magic filter can work in two ways. You can either use it with the with the camera’s default automatic white balance and exposure, giving you vibrantly coloured images with point and shoot simplicity. Or you can use it with manual (custom) white balance giving you much more control and the ability to shoot images over a wider depth range. Most users start using the filter in fully auto mode and then switch over to using it with manual white balance. All five images below were taken with the Auto-Magic filter: two were taken with Auto white balance and three with manual white balance.
The fact that this filter is designed to work without white balance makes it highly suited for use with cameras without manual white balance control.
In short, the Auto-Magic delivers great colours without the risk of backscatter. The before and after images below, show the effect of adding the Auto-Magic filter while on Auto white balance and Auto Exposure.
These images below, (straight from the camera) show the effect of the Auto-Magic filter. The images are shot with Olympus compact digtial cameras set on Auto Exposure and Auto White Balance (the default settings). The only difference between the before and after is the addition of the Auto-Magic filter.
The Auto-Magic filter is also perfect for shooting movies with your compact camera, where a flash or a strobe cannot be used. All compact cameras offer movie functions and the Auto-Magic allows you simply switch between photography and videography during a dive.
Another advantage of switching off your flash and shooting stills with a Magic Filter is that it will make your battery last longer and will also reduce the likelihood of your housing steaming up (which is caused by the heat produced by the flash firing).
The Auto-Magic filter works particularly well with wide angle accessory lenses, for scenic and diver photography. The filter is designed for relatively shallow diving in sunny tropical conditions. On Auto white balance it works best between 3m and 10-12m (9-35/40ft) depending on the camera. For deeper dives, shoot the camera on manual white balance, and you could shoot to a depth of 18m. Deeper than this depth the colours in the images begin to slowly fade back to a natural blue look. It is less suited to fast moving fish, which may blur.
Both of these images below, were taken with the Auto-Magic filter WITHOUT strobes or the internal flash. You can see more in the gallery.
Below is a more recent before and after shot take without and with the AutoMagic Filter using a Canon S90 camera. Both on Auto WB.

Most of the time the filter will give you pleasing images straight from the camera, and if it doesn’t you can usually sort them out by using automated functions such as “auto-color” in Photoshop or “Enhance” in iPhoto. Filter photography isn’t perfect for every dive, obviously it doesn’t work at night! It's recommend that you do one filter dive and then one dive in flash to build a collection of photos that each technique can give you.
