did you know you could use sonys lens cap/body cap for custom white balancing. it actually is the specific grey required for white balancing and that was a deliberate design decision by sony. try it next time ;-)
Interesting... always used white for a white balance but now you have convinced me to use a grey card when it comes to the skin tones - definitely looks better! Also one more thing: for the auto you can set the priority in settings to the "white" and then tweak colors (mine are set for B+0.5 and M+0.5).
While I do love setting a Custom white balance, sometimes (as you mentioned) for long clips in areas where I do not control the lighting (mostly run and gun) I prefer using Auto W/B. Imagine events where a couple is sitting under a neutral light and then you pan towards an audience member who is sitting under a completely different light. I found that for long takes the previous Sony auto W/B worked decent (definitely usable) and if I want to do a highlights clip where there is no panning, just a cut between the 2, I can match them much easier because the W/B changed in camera. I had very few shots where I had to keyframe my W/B in post to match it changing (and it wasn't difficult to do, only tiny increments). Now if I were to set a W/B for just the couple, then in post the footage of the audience member would require massive changes in W/B which would definitely show and look bad. And with these being said, I would like to ask about those "extra" auto W/B options that we got with the a7S III that we didn't have in previous models. I believe there are 2 or 3 "shockless" W/B settings and would like to ask you if you have played around with them? what has changed from the previous generation?
This topic drives me crazy. :D I use an A7R III and there is a very strange behaviour. If I shoot RAW images, I can use WB temperatures only, colours are accurate. As soon as I capture either JPG or MP4 (so having the camera interpret the image on its own), the camera starts to shift the tint towards magenta. Coming to Sony, I always heard people complain about green tint but somehow my former A7 II managed this a lot better then 3rd generation bodies (both the regular 7 and 7R series Mk III).
Veeery Helpful thanks! For the longest time I was convinced White Balance was done with the white card; people kept sugesting the gray card but I wouldn't know why until now.
office paper contains bleaching components that can give a hue depending on the spectrum of the light source. that is why it is not recommended to use it when adjusting the white balance
Thanks for the tutorial! One thing I've noticed. I have a couple Memory Recall Settings saved for the two configurations I will use the most, and strangely It doesn't allow for a custom WB. So I have to leave the Memory Recall setting back to Video, do the custom white balance, take note of the Temperature, go back to the Memory Recall and set the Temp manually there in K... Seem a bit silly, am I missing something here?
I believe the great card you used is for exposure. They make another great cards made for White Balance. Color right as it inside the color checker. But you can buy them separately.
I tried white paper on the sony a6400 and it would glitch the camera even making the entire screen pink. I tried multiple times and the white balance was never the same even went as low as 3000k in broad sunlight. Thats way to cool. Maybe try a grey card next time.
What’s your process for setting white balance when you’re using bi-color lights and filming in a corporate area with overhead lights you can’t turn off? Do you do a custom white balance for the environment (overhead lights) and then do it again once you turn on your lights on and set them to the proper Kevin?
Very helpful! I see you're using the DataColor Gray card, which is $50 and has those white-to-black squares. Is there a benefit of using that instead of using a solid color 18% gray card? I see those for much cheaper, including with the 24 colors on the other side. I don't inherently mind paying a little more to get a much better result, but no one wants to spend more than they need to haha. Sorry if it's a newbie question, I'm very new to all this lol. Thank you again for the video, very much appreciate it.
Great tutorial. But I'm using the A7S. Menus are completely different. When I select a custom WB and choose right, I get the colour matrix thing with A-B and G-M settings. Says 5600k but apart from adjusting the colour grid I don't see any way of making an adjustment to the kelvin value. So it's always on 5600K! Normally I shoot in video mode with manual exposure. Is there something I'm missing?
Yeah, this is extremely dumb and I feel like we’re being punished for using Sony’s built-in features. The only options are to use the white balance lock while using auto, or just not use the memory modes, which is probably the better option so you don’t accidentally “unlock” back to auto.
Yeah it’s absolutely shit, I only shoot with the custom mode setups and it’s infuriating!! Why you can’t set custom white balance is annoying especially with a 3500 camera lol
For white balance, couldn't it be good to use it with a grey card, then use the white balance lock for video for short scenes where the conditions don't change? seems easier than the custom white balance no? especially if you don't have to save constant new custom white balance. Unless I'm missing something
I am a little confused when doing manual white balance in my Sony A73. I do not have that “set” option when on video. Only on manual mode, but when I change to number 1 that is 4K/24fps, It changes. Is there a way to use grey card on video modes?
Don't you think the gray vs white is more of a preference thing? A slightly warmer image may just be more flattering to the skin, but not the most accurate otherwise. Just speculation here, let me know what you think :)
I actually have the DT 770’s and they’re lovely (especially for tracking instruments) but I prefer the Sennheiser HD 650 for editing as they’re open back, the sound quality is incredible and being open back I find you can edit for far longer without fatigue 👍🏻
@@HarvVideoAudioStuff Ah nice! Open back headphones will always be best for quality, but it’s hard to get away with if you have a lot of noises in the background or have to work at night or something. The 770’s are definitely more comfortable than the M50’s though!
Does this monitor only work with 4K30fps or this handle 4K60fps as well? Is it possible to view the display and the monitor on the Sony A7IV at the same time?
Have you Trier using the WB custom 3 in memory recal? I have and the Camera Wong let me shoot the image it nedsat to set the WB. If you have a different experience pli let me know. Thanx for the video and keep JP the god work👌
I'm curious what shooting mode you're in when setting the white balance. If I try to press the [C1] button when I'm in Auto, I get a message that says "This operation or setting not available as follows: Shoot Mode, Intelligent Auto." I wonder which shooting mode is ideal for high resolution still images (like macros). Thanks!
Quick question can I use white paper for white balance and grey card for correct exposure? Or do people use grey card for white balance and correct exposure? I'm confused 🤔
I take photos inside casinos for the hotels the pictures are yellow in the conference areas and perfect where else I’m guessing the lights are different in conference areas what do suggest
Nice video. I’ll look at the other videos you have on your channel as well cause this was a very pleasing and chill one :D Question though. Wouldn’t it be more correct to set white balance to the white square and exposure to the 18%?
Thank you for this, very handy. I have a problem when im in my saved settings mode on my Fx3, cant "set" wb in custom, option is available but says memory recall. Anyone know how to get around this?
So the solution is to go to Manual Mode > WB > Custom X > Set and then go in to Memory Recall X WB > Custom X > Dial in your kelvin. Not the way i wanted to do it but seems like the only solution.
Hey! You said you were in the youtube comments as much as possible so here goes nothing, can you also customize the kelvin like this? I've tried on my a7siii and I can only choose in the color spectrum but not put my kelvin up or down
Great Video Harv. Can I only set up a custom white balance on the A7s iii ii Film toggle option on the top fly wheel? I have tried to set white balance capture my preset 1/2/3 and it won't let me.... struggling with this ? I don't rely want to have to reset all my settings and white balance in film mode in order to re save to a preset which is the only way I have been doing it this far
Hi I have phantom luts in my fx30 it looks great on camera but if I use it with a monitor(portkeys) it looks very dark. What would you like to suggest to me .
Do I setup my lights on my subject that I’m shooting? then move the lights then take a picture or do I take a picture of the grey card then set everything up after , thanks for the tip means a lot
Let's say I'm shooting outdoor and I already set my WB with gray card. But we move to another place where in the background is completely different, should I set another WB? I'm sorry I'm pretty new in photography
I’ve used a few over the years and honestly you can’t go wrong, I’m currently using the Datacolor SpyderCHECKR 24 but I’ve heard the X-rite ones are good. They’re all so insanely overpriced in my opinion though 😅
Hi Harv I shoot a lot of live music shots, stills and video, clubs and theatres etc I normally use auto, ad the lights change so quickly And you want to capture the stage lights and effects etc. Sometimes tho the reds def look too red! Should i use daylight, tungsten , i normally adjust to taste( as i remember seeing it) in post But id much rather get accurate colours, Any suggestions Cheers Steve
Hi Steve, I’d definitely stick with a fixed WB rather than using auto. Should mean much less tweaking when you edit. As for a temperature, I’d try 5500k first and adjust from there 👍🏻
Hi! Does it matter where the camera is relative to the grey card? I assume the grey card should be where the subject is, what about the camera? Or does it not matter as long as the grey card is in the circle region when custom setting? Used the grey card in our last shoot, and footage came out too warm. Thanks for the insight!
Yes I place it as near to the subject as possible whilst still being in the circle, luminance also has an impact on the colour temp so I try not have it too dark or bright
Thank you for the video. Does the Sony A7SIII have a custom color balance as well? In other words, you hold up a color card and do the same thing you did with the gray card. I just started filmmaking and I know nothing... I can prove it. Thanks
Not as such, but you can hold up a color card and then use certain plugins to calibrate the colours in editing. I’m sure color finale lets you do this but you’d need to check which color card to get as it only works with certain brands 👍🏻
For it works only with the white card. With the gray somehow it doesn't work I get an error (a7 III) . Have you noticed difference between a cheap white card and one from x rite color checker?
Hi Harv, this was very helpful! I shoot outdoor hiking videos where it's mostly landscapes (mountains, forest, etc.) but subjects are also in the scene from time to time. I don't have a lot of time so I've been using auto WB. Would you recommend that I WB in post using.a white shirt, etc. in my editing software (Premiere)? Any advantages / disadvantages to white balancing in post vs. in camera? I'm currently shooting on a Sony A7C
Hi Harv, white ballancing in post is better than not white ballancing at all but it's one thing to ballance off a white or grey evenly exposed card vs picking a white point on your shirt which could be too bright or too dark for a correct white ballance. I white ballance before and even after use the picker on the color chart to slightly correct the wb that the camera has set. There is always a slight difference.
I just came across this problem on my recent sony camera. I'm honestly dumbstruck by how stupid Sony has been with locking out that function, they might as well have also locked out aperture & shutter adjustments while they were at it
It’s ridiculous that Sony doesn’t allow you to do custom white balance in the custom settings ! Or a variable shutter speed almost $4000 camera can’t do those
It’s called custom white balance quick tips, suggesting that it’s more than just a ‘how to set a custom white balance’ video (of which I have also made exactly that video ruclips.net/video/kff2O8doRG4/видео.htmlsi=5zRhAXN7kU-uosgd). Honestly you could also just use the timestamps, it’s not difficult man 😂
I can tell you used a grey card, your videos have a green/blue tint to it,so I would NOT recommend using a grey card,use a white card,it gives you a less awful colors
There’s actually no tint, what you’re seeing is that almost everything around me is naturally blue/green. My skin tones are accurate (bearing in mind I’m a pasty Brit!), I get that colour is subjective too so you’re probably one of many that doesn’t enjoy the colour in my videos and that’s fine. But awful…well that’s just not a fact is it 😂
Well I'm telling you your videos do have a green/blue and I use to use a grey card and there's a color shift twords cyan color on the white balance graph on the camera,so your saying camera graph is wrong and unacrate🤦♂️ And skin tone may look decent but everything else isn't, and that's why I stopped using a grey card because of the color shift😂
But everything else in the background is blue/green, the curtains, the cushions, the way the room is decorated. I’m not going to change these colours in post because they’re meant to be that way, for me skin tone accuracy trumps all else so I’m always going to prioritise that
Very Nice BROO, What picture profile die you use🤔 Black Level : 𝐆𝐚𝐦𝐦𝐚 : Black Gamma : Knee : 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞 : 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 : 𝐂𝐨𝐥𝐨𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐚𝐬𝐞 : Color Depth : Detail ➡️(𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥) :
I hope you enjoy these quick tips :)
did you know you could use sonys lens cap/body cap for custom white balancing. it actually is the specific grey required for white balancing and that was a deliberate design decision by sony. try it next time ;-)
Another tip when using auto white balance is to lock it when you're happy with it. I have a custom button set to lock/unlock on white balance.
Interesting... always used white for a white balance but now you have convinced me to use a grey card when it comes to the skin tones - definitely looks better! Also one more thing: for the auto you can set the priority in settings to the "white" and then tweak colors (mine are set for B+0.5 and M+0.5).

Excellent video! And in case you don't have a gray card with you on the shoot, the Sony E-mount lens caps make great gray card alternatives!
you can also use a grey Sony camera sensor cap
Thanks for this, I appreciate it.

May i ask... is this grey card method suitable for all light condition? My keylight got yellowish effect so can the grey card nail the white balance?
Would someone explain this for photographers? Please?

Hi
Would you suggest re setting white balance if you change picture profiles or is it one size fits all?
Where did you get your gray card? Amazon only has single panel cards in like a keyring, but I'd prefer it all on one panel like your card!
That’s a datacolor card but I’d say one of the spydercheckr ones might be a better bet 👍🏻 be warned tho they’re expensive for what they are! 😬

It’s called custom white balance quick tips, suggesting that it’s more than just a ‘how to set a custom white balance’ video (of which I have also made exactly that video ruclips.net/video/kff2O8doRG4/видео.htmlsi=5zRhAXN7kU-uosgd). Honestly you could also just use the timestamps, it’s not difficult man 😂
I can tell you used a grey card, your videos have a green/blue tint to it,so I would NOT recommend using a grey card,use a white card,it gives you a less awful colors
There’s actually no tint, what you’re seeing is that almost everything around me is naturally blue/green. My skin tones are accurate (bearing in mind I’m a pasty Brit!), I get that colour is subjective too so you’re probably one of many that doesn’t enjoy the colour in my videos and that’s fine. But awful…well that’s just not a fact is it 😂
Well I'm telling you your videos do have a green/blue and I use to use a grey card and there's a color shift twords cyan color on the white balance graph on the camera,so your saying camera graph is wrong and unacrate🤦♂️ And skin tone may look decent but everything else isn't, and that's why I stopped using a grey card because of the color shift😂
But everything else in the background is blue/green, the curtains, the cushions, the way the room is decorated. I’m not going to change these colours in post because they’re meant to be that way, for me skin tone accuracy trumps all else so I’m always going to prioritise that
The best way to get white balance with Sony: don’t shoot with Sony unless you’re using an a7siii.
Thank you for this video all the videos. What about using an ND filter? I’ve been told to greycard set WB with the ND filter on.
Definitely a good idea!
Very Nice BROO, What picture profile die you use🤔
