Using a Sony NEX7 as Video Camera

I used the kit lens with the flat port most of the time in Komodo with a x10 diopter or the Inon lens on the front gives us flexibility to do macro and bigger stuff.

Having to stick to one lens for the dive that doesn't cover all I have to shoot

Seems like you're after "wet lens" capability.

Yes diopters are wet lens on the front

Can you set manual shutter speed aperture and ISO in video mode?

The kind of video you are shooting will determine the lens focal length. If you are shooting wrecks, you really need about 10-12mm (equiv 15-18mm). If it's fish/coral then you wouldn't need it so wide.
