Hi Lea,
I also use the D10 in its waterproof housing with some success. There
really isn't enough light even a meter down to do anything without
lighting. For stills I have Tupperware-enclosed flashes weighted down
(In a swimming pool.. not the sea)
For video, smear is caused by a low video signal (I think this is called
"Red Smear???) I'm not a video techno guy...
I read that it is a problem sometimes caused by using audio-type RCA
leads instead of video-types (Yellow plug) which are thicker and offer
lower impedance (Although this story sounds very dubious to me knowing
how little resistance almost any cable puts up unless it's really long.
Does it ever happen in normal daylight on the ground? If not ... I am
guessing that low light is the problem and even with the camera's gain
all the way up, and a slow shutter speed (which would also give some
blur), you're still not getting enough "Sauce" to the SD card.
Maybe the brilliant Karl can offer more succinct advice?
I shoot a fair amount of video but all with lights, crew of one or two
and a swivel chair with wheels for me. consequently it mostly works out
fine.

you do about it?
Thanks.
