WOW, manual white balance

Been shooting underwater video for fun using a Gates housing and Sony 900 camcorder. Been happy with the results, but noticed a clear decline in color below 60 feet.

Finally got around to doing a little experimenting with manual white balance.

HOLY SMOKES BATMAN.

Here is a clip shot at 90 feet without lights, white balance manually set using the sand.

I have NEVER got footage with color anywhere near this good below 60 feet using auto white balance.

You'll never turn back now. It's an essential feature.
