Lastolite Ezybalance Grey/White Card 30cm ( 12″)

The Lastolite EzyBalance 18% Grey Card is the perfect solution to ensure that your camera white balance yields the perfect results.

This handy double sided pop up 18% grey/white card simplifies the complex technical issues surrounding exposure and colour correction when working in different lighting conditions.

This provides a major benefit when working under pressure at events such as weddings or fashion shows.

 

Camera light meters see reflected light, but it is often useful to know the incident light (the light hitting your subject). With an 18 percent grey card you can get a reflected light reading which is essentially the same as reading incident light.

 

Here are several situations that benefit greatly by the use of a grey card to check the exposure.

To use the Grey Card as the basis for an in-camera custom white balance, make sure enough of the center of the frame is covered by the card in your picture to be properly read for white balance. Fill the frame with the card. Next, go through the menu to select that picture for your custom white balance. Finally, set the camera to the custom white balance setting.
