Professional underwater photographer and good friend Tony Wu has written a post on his personal blog about shooting underwater with compact cameras. Tony took a Sony W300 down for some dives and set it on underwater white-balance mode. He managed to get some fantastic images!
… whatever the camera is doing, it clearly works. What this means in practical terms is that with just your compact digital camera and a normal housing, you can take nice, colourful photos. There’s no need to get fancy or invest in anything else.

Comment(s):Interesting. I wonder if the underwater mode is just a preset white balance, or if the camera also decides to underexpose, and tweak the curves too.
Cheers

Posted by wydeangle on 06/17 at 06:28 AMI could find no housing for this camera, even on digideep. What is the housing you are using?
Posted by secretsea18 on 06/17 at 04:29 PMNothing special. Standard kit housing from Sony. Just look on the Sony page. Every manufacturer has the little plastic housings for their cameras
