Re: Red filters and white balance

AFAIK, Sony MWB cannot be set above 9900K manually (i.e. by entering the number), but if you do a spot manual white balance, it will give you an error but actually set the white balance to a proper value. In newer cameras (A7 III, RX100 VI, RX100 VA), they changed it so that it shows '>9900K' instead of an error, but the idea is the same.

I don't shoot video, but here's a test sample I made in Eilat with my A6300, no red filters involved, camera in underwater white balance mode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQfYNH3b2Wc
