hello group!

 

was reviewing the topics posted here regarding setting the white balance, can i set the white balance with white slate with a filter attached so i can get good results when i change depths? thanks in advanced.

Neil,

 

The 7070 has a custom white balance option and you can use a white slate , gray card or even the palm of your hand to set it for the depth you are at. If in an area with a sandy bottom, I generally take a picture of the sand and use that shot to set the white balance off of. Keep in mind that if you change your depth by a few feet, you will want to take another shot to reset the white balance. Keep the filter on while adjusting the WB.

 

Hope this helps.
