What color red filter?

[CheddarChick]

Huh who knew? There are a ton of different red filters, can anyone tell me the best "color" of filter to aid my videos when I use my E-pl2?

What's wrong with setting custom white balance?

 

[CheddarChick]

You know that should be my next thread. For some reason I get an error message when I try to white balance underwater. When I use a white card I carry and when I use a sand back ground it pops up with a message. Maybe I am not doing it correctly underwater, but I can do it landside with no problem

I know the feeling. Is the exposure within an acceptable range when you set it? My rx100 does the same and for that I have a filter it never balances properly no matter how you do it

 

[CheddarChick]

In stills since I shoot in RAW and use the histogram, I can always go back in Lightroom and change exposure settings, in video I haven't found a program that is easy to use...

In video you have to get it right first time. What housing have you got?

 

[CheddarChick]

PT-EP03 Housing with flat port, lusting after the Zen dome port for my 9-18 mm.

I believe the port of your housing is not standard. I presume you don't want to put a filter inside on the lens so you will need to measure the screw ring and then see if URPRO or kood have a blue water filter

 

[CheddarChick]

yeah it is 67mm on the adapter

 

[Interceptor121]

If you see no vignette then a standard URPRO 67mm bluewater would be my choice
Of course if you then move to a dome you can't use it
