thani 86 Posted July 21, 2020 My freind Sultan was playing with a little old full HD camera that offers progressive 60 fps. This amazing camera can perfectly white balances at 100 feet depth in ambient light without red filter. where we live, Dubai UAE, the water visibility is bad because of the thermocline and the large amount of particles in the water. I can easily say our 100 feet depth has much less ambient light that 150 feet in clearer waters. We have tried before the Sony EX1, GH5 and the GH5s but the little camera beats them all. check it out please and let me know what do you think: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even GH5 is bad as well. But still it has the best white balance i’ve ever seen in. y opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I had the xacti for two years it would not error but when I moved to the Sony RX100 it was an upgrade in all respect even using a filter at 26 meters. Olympus camera white balance to 14000K and so does Zcam. I think you should look into the Zcam because you have a Gh5s and a monitor. The housing is smaller and would work very well with you Plus it shoots prores RAW so really consider the zcam instead of the GH5s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Besides I use Davinci Resolve and do not have time to learn another editing system that support ProRes RAW. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
