WHITE BALANCE SETTING BY USING A “GREY CARD”
There are two ways to make manual white/grey balance settings
using a ‘Grey card’ or ‘Qp card’. If colour accuracy is not
critical, you can use any neutrally coloured area or surface close
to a mid grey value (concrete, overcast sky, or even white paper,
for example). It won’t be perfect but just try to ensure that it is
as neutral as possible in colour value.
●
Make the first shot a grey card/Qp card close-up and
then make the adjustment in Phocus for the session.
●
Use the integral white balance from the grey card
function to make an in-camera setting for the session.
White balance settings are mirrored after being saved on the
grip, sensor unit and in Phocus when tethered.
The most common work flow for using a Grey Card is to make
a capture with the Grey Card present during the photo session.
This capture will then be used in Phocus to neutralize all other
captures in that same light.
