I had the exact same problem with my Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm F/2.8G IF-ED. I was diving in Fiji and had this happen on several occasions. Including a night dive with ripping current. It was super annoying and frustrating. Out of the water and housing I could never replicate it. I tried multiple times and it always worked perfectly. I cleaned the contacts on the lens, body, etc. I don't recall if I tried a factory reset on the body, but that could not hurt too much to try. I just bought another copy of the lens and sold the old one. The problem was not worth the gray hairs.

You can adjust the white balance in lightroom pretty easily and may get some improved images. This is works best if the shots were made in no more than 20 feet of water with lots of natural light. Beyond that, you really should start looking at add a single strobe. A Backscatter MF 1 or 2, or an Inon 220 might be your best entry level options.

Thanks! Looks like I can post images now, so why not? From my last dive in before I broke my leg in September. Hope to be diving again in January. Egg Yolk Jellyfish in Puget Sound:

It's great to see the new forum up and running! It looks pretty good so far, and it's nice to see a lot of familiar names. Cheers, Dave
