dutch 0 Posted June 17, 2015 I have an OMD EM5 with Nauticam housing. only problem is there is enough light I cant white balance. which makes its super hard to get good video. It simply comes up with a screen that says something like, "cannot white balance."My question is, are all M4/3 cameras like this? does anyone have experience with the GH4 that they can share? Also, are DSLRS like the 5dMKIII any better? or can anyone recommend a camera that has this dialled? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thetrickster 328 Posted June 17, 2015 I've tried to white balance my GH4 down at 48m (single frame attached - unedited, but down sampled and jpg'd) - however the colours we shot (completely off) - which makes sense being that deep. Had issues with my EPL3 before which even in 15m, it would Error trying to white balance, so it shows at least the GH4 gives it a good go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troporobo 252 Posted June 18, 2015 I have the same problem trying to use one-touch WB with my E-M5. Since I shoot only stills, I have a buddy hold a white slate at each depth then use that to correct white balance in post.I have not found a solution for video, sorry!

Interceptor121 843 Posted June 18, 2015 One thing to try is to Put the camera in program mode. If the exposure is below or above a given range white balance may fail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troporobo 252 Posted June 19, 2015 It never occurred to me that switching modes might make this work better. I'll have to try it. Thanks for the suggestion! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DivingMeCrazy 2 Posted June 19, 2015 You can try one touch WB and use your hand as a "grey" card below 20 ft. Works pretty good for me. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
coinee 17 Posted June 19, 2015 My opinion on white balance is 'shoot RAW, adjust white balance in Lightroom'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
