Anyone shooting video with a Nikon DSLR? Help me please :)

Hello All,

Are any of you shooting video with a Nikon DSLR? If so, are you shooting in Manual Mode or Automatic/Aperture Priority etc? Also, are you setting the White Balance underwater or using a Auto/Pre Set?

I just returned from a trip and the entire time I could not White Balance Underwater (both for purposes of Video and for Stills). I could on land without issue but for some freaky reason I could not WB under water in my Nauticam housing (all buttons seem to work just fine).

Any advice on shooting video in Manual mode and White Balancing tips would be greatly appreciated.

Hey Scoobz. I was able to WB my Nikon D810 underwater. I have noticed that, in general the camera is very picky about what it will accept. I noticed once that I was out of focal range and it wouldn't accept it. Also, once on land it seemed like the issue was lack of ambient light, but now that it think about it that could have been a focal range issue as well. I'm very new so take this with a grain of salt. Best, Tom
