I posted this on the videography forums, but had no response
I thought everything was gravy, I was planning on getting a Canon HG20 and an Ikelite 6801 housing, than I notice that Ikelite doesn't list white balance and a useable function. I have been doing some research on videography and camera functions, one of the main things I hear over and over is the importance of adjusting white balance once you get into the enviornment where you intend to shoot. Than I noticed it isn't listed for any of the HF/HG housings except the HG10. Am I missing something? Is that control through the camera LCD and not actually external? Somebody help me out here.
Molded of clear polycarbonate to provide seamless construction and corrosion proof performance. This "Clearly Superior" design provides full view of the camcorder, control functions, and assurance the system is safe up to 200 feet (60 meters).

Ok so it says this on the Ikelite website in the description of the housing that I want, I am wondering if white balance in accessible through the joystick controls listed under housing feature. Plus it says it provides full use of control functions, so I should be ok right?
This is where I am confused though...the HG10 housing lists this as housing features...

I can't imagine Ikelite not including white balance in the HG20 Housing, but I am not ordering my rig till I know for sure...
