Frequently Asked Questions
How do you use this card to set custom white balance?
Hold or place the card in the same lighting as your subject, fill the camera's frame with the white side, and use your camera's custom white balance function to capture a reference image. The camera will then calibrate its color temperature based on that reading.
What are the two sides of this card used for?
One side is 18% neutral grey, used for setting accurate exposure metering. The other side is white, used for setting custom white balance. Together they help ensure correct exposure and color in your photographs.
Is this card durable enough for outdoor use?
The card is designed to be compact and portable for field use. However, like most balance cards, it should be kept clean and dry — dirt, moisture, or surface scratches can affect the accuracy of your readings.
What size is this balance card?
The card measures 30cm (approximately 12 inches), which is large enough to fill the frame for white balance capture at a reasonable working distance while remaining easy to carry in a camera bag.
Can this card be used for video as well as photography?
Yes. Setting a custom white balance with this card before recording ensures consistent color throughout your video footage, which is especially useful when shooting in mixed or changing light.
