Marine controller function

It analyzes the image and automatically determines the white balance in the direction of removing the bluish tint, and can appropriately set the color temperature, color deviation, color depth, and underwater color deviation.
■ Underwater gray balance tool
If there is a white object (or an achromatic object) in the photo, simply specifying that part will automatically set the white balance, color depth, and underwater color deviation appropriately.
■Color depth
Manually adjust the white balance corresponding to the water depth.
■ Underwater color deviation
Manually adjust images that are greenish or bluish depending on the color of the water.
■ Color restoration
The deeper the water depth, the more vivid the colors become, and the greater the change in color.
■ Removal of turbidity
Eliminates light scattering and reduces turbidity when contrast is reduced by dust or suspended matter in water.
