WHITE BALANCE SETTING BY USING A ‘GREY CARD’:

There are two ways to make manual white/grey balance set- tings using a ‘Grey card’ or ‘Qp card’. If colour accuracy is not critical, you can use any neutrally coloured area or surface that you judge to be 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 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.

SENSOR UNIT MENU > WHITE BALANCE > MANUAL

1.Press MENU.

2.Navigate to White Balance (use the Rear scroll wheel or the Navigator).

3.Navigate to Manual (use the Front scroll wheel or the Navigator).

4.Position the central spot in the viewfinder over an area that you consider should be rendered as neutral in color in the image and make a test capture (ensure the expo- sure is approximately correct otherwise you will get a warning message). A small rectangle appears on the display marking that particular­ area.

5.Press the MENU button to exit the menu system and keep the setting. Calculations then take place automati- cally so that the following shots use the area chosen as the new ‘white balance’ standard. Using this method you can also read off the screen what the color tempera- ture of the light source has been judged to be in degrees Kelvin.

White Balance Shot screen appears after test capture to illustrate the area chosen for white balance calculation.
