    This was so well explained. I have seen so many RUclips explainers gloss over the exact “how to” for this super important thing to know. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!

    Hey there...I'm 100% not bashing you just letting you know that after doing some extensive research I found out that the grey side is actually for setting exposure and it has become a common myth over the years that it it also perfect for white balance, however the white side of you're card is actually what should be used to set white balance. The colours will be be more accurate that way, I tested it myself...you get more of a yellowish hue in your pics/vids when you use the grey side. Feel free to check it out and have a great day.

    • @dubtube6691
      @dubtube6691 6 лет назад +1

      This is also what I thought. Unfortunately I think he didn't explain why he uses the "grey" card for white balance. Is it also correct to take the picture with direct sunlight on it? I thought it is correct to take the picture off the card without the direct sun light.

  • @MattExzy
    @MattExzy 9 лет назад

    Really great information. White balance is the one thing I consistently have trouble wrapping my head around. I usually just modify the colour temp in post, or leave the camera on 'cloudy' (which I find usually keeps colours warm), but this is helpful, might nudge me to not be so lazy with it.
