Hey all,
I've the Panasonic PV-GS500 and am on the fense as to whether or not I should get a circular polarizing filter or not. I understand it aids in colour contrast -blues, greens, whites- but the camera's various whitebalance presets aid in this as well.
So, I pose these questions:
-Should I stick with the presets because they essentially do the same thing as the polarizing filter?
-Shoot everything on the manual whitebalance setting and do colour staining in the editing studio later?
-Buy the polarizing filter because what it does can not be immitated by the camera or editing software at a later point?
Thanks all for those who reply.
