Abstract: This article describes a new system for filming underwater. The Aquacolor® system consists of underwater cameras with patented, state-of-the-art automatic exposure controls, unique metering, and new multiple filter systems that enable underwater cinematographers to capture, as never before, the rich and beautiful colors beneath the sea. Color charts, gray scales, and skin tones are reproduced without artificial lights through at least 40 ft of sea water almost as naturally as through air.
