As I recorded a beach scene, the water color was initially blue (true), but as I flew over the ocean the water turned a distinct green; this ruined the video. Does anyone know how to stop the Mavic from doing this? I even tried setting AWB to "sunny" (so it wouldn't be "automatic") but it still did the same thing: the ocean water turned an ugly green color when flying over it.
 
Doesn't sound unreasonable that the apparent water colour changes.

Shallow water is generally lighter blue or blue/green and get darker as it gets deeper. Also changes colour depending on the relative position of the sun and latitude to the camera and time of day
 
Good point, thanks. But the initial blue color is true, then the same area turns green when flying over it - and the color now is not true. It's as if the Magic changes white balance as it's changing exposure, and this is not expected or desired.
