White Balance
1.
Cover the Lens.
Attach the ExpoDisc to the front of your lens (white side towards
camera). If your ExpoDisc is larger than your lens fi lter size, simply hold the ExpoDisc
fl at over the lens.
2.
Manual Camera Focus (If Necessary).
Some cameras require the lens to be in
manual focus to capture an exposure through the ExpoDisc. Note: This is not necessary
when using Nikon cameras to set a Preset white balance.
3.
Set Exposure.
Camera Program or Aperture mode will automatically produce a good
exposure through the ExpoDisc (when shooting in ambient light). If shooting in Manual
mode (or with fl ash), set a proper exposure prior to setting the custom white balance.
4.
When Using Flash.
You must set your custom white balance using the same shutter
speed that you intend to use when photographing your subject. Your fl ash must fi re
when setting the custom white balance.
5.
Aim the Camera (Measure Incident Light).
Aim the camera towards the
dominant light source (just like an incident light meter). Note: The light illuminating
your subject must pass through the ExpoDisc, which may require you to stand at your
subject’s position.
6.
Set the Custom White Balance.
Follow your camera’s custom white balance
procedure to take a white balance reading. Detailed instructions for many camera
models, as well as video camera tutorials are available at
www.expodisc.com/support/
.
7.
Finished.
Remove your ExpoDisc and return your camera to autofocus, if necessary.
Take a new custom white balance reading whenever your lighting changes.
