For more accurate colors, we recommend setting manual white balance
underwater using a white slate or white sandy bottom. Manual white
balance should be reset for each working depth due to color absorption
caused by the water. When adding a UR-Pro color filter, reset manual
white balance.
Note:
Enable Macro mode when shooting close-up subjects. If
overexposure occurs, back away from the subject and zoom in. If
overexposure continues, use “-” exposure compensation.
