That's an impressive underwater. Thank you for sharing this great footage😊

[matjazbravc]

For us divers, the automatic color temperature filter is a lifesaver as it (almost) perfectly adjusts the white balance. I think this is a big advantage over GoPro cameras.

[pamelafajarito]

Mine definitely got foggy with same settings.
Both the camera lens and dive case.

Really informative and helpful. Also, great underwater footage! Just ordered this camera a few days ago, can't wait to go snorkeling with it. What editing software were you using for your color corrections? Thanks in advance.

Hi Aelita, I think you were in Trapani, makari, elbhaira! Thank you for sharing, )

can dji osmo action 4 be used up to 3-4 meters without additional cover?

[francoisduplessis]

Hi Aelita, did you have any issues with the dive housing fogging up? We also have purchased a DJI Osmo action 4 and it fogged up the first time we used it in the dive housing.

[mpawel]

what is the software that you use to postedit?

[Amirfresno]

I have only just now read this about
the osmo action 4 when scuba
diving."When diving below 16 meters
with the Osmo Action 4 and the Scuba
Diving mode activates due to pressure,
the usual shutter/record button is
disabled. In this case, you'll use the
Quick Switch (QS) button to start
and stop recording. The QS button is
designed to work under high-pressure
conditions, allowing you to control
recording without relying on the
shutter/record button. So, even deep
underwater, the QS button becomes
your main control for starting and
stopping video recording".So this
button becomes a universal button
to power on, select video or photo,
then take a picture or start shooting a
video. I checked the DJI manual and it
doesnt clearly say how this is achieved.

I checked with dji support and they said you need to decide wether you will be taking photos or videos past 16 meters before the pressure cutoff kicks in.Then you can only use the camera as a start and stop. You cant play back videos on a dive or scroll to other presets to bracket different fstops and iso settings etc.

Great video, you've sealed the deal for me was unsure on the go pro 12 or action 4, a lot of the footage I've seen comparing both cameras underwater the gopro 12 looks better, but I think they are not using the correct settings and editing in post after recording in dlogm
