White Balance Card


Features
- Corrects exposure and color balance when working in various lighting environments
- Double-sided (neutral gray and pure white)
- 12"
- Each white balance card only comes with 1 card
How to Use
- Before Shooting
- Place the white/gray card in the scene where your subject is
- Set your camera's custom white balance by pointing it at the card and capturing a reference shot
- The camera will use this to adjust the white balance for all future photos in that lighting condition
- After Shooting
- Take a shot with the white balance card in frame
- In editing software (i.e photoshop), use the white balance selector to click on the card
- The software will adjust the color balance based on that neutral tone
Putting Away
- Hold two opposite corners of the white balance card and bring your right hand towards you and your left hand away from you until it folds in on itself
- Put the white balance card in its case
