## Description

The exact way of setting the white balance in camera with a grey card might differ from below, depending on the manufacturers.
Check your camera manual or search on Google about custom white balance and specify your camera’s model.

In other camera models, you might need to take a photo of the grey card and then select it in the Custom White Balance as the reference image.
Here's how it works:
1. Exposure Measurement: By metering the light falling on the gray card, photographers can determine the correct exposure settings for their camera. This is especially useful in situations where the light may be uneven or challenging to measure accurately.
2. White Balance Calibration: Gray cards are neutral in color, and this neutrality helps in setting the correct white balance for a photograph. Photographers can use the gray card as a reference point for adjusting the color temperature of the image, ensuring that whites appear truly white without any color casts.
To use a gray card, you typically take a test shot with the card in the scene under the same lighting conditions as your subject. Then, during post-processing, you can use the values from the gray card to adjust exposure and white balance for the entire set of photos taken under similar lighting conditions.

## Features

- Gray side: Reflectance 17.8%; Density 0.74
- for Max. deviation of reflectance: 2%
- for Max. error in exposure measurements: 1/8 of F-stop
- This handy double sided pop up 18% grey/white card simplifies the complex technical issues surrounding exposure and color correction when working in different lighting conditions. It provides a major benefit when working under pressure at events such as weddings or fashion shows.
- Backed with Lightdow 90-Day Hassle Free Return & Replacement Warranty for Quality-Related Issue.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you use this to set custom white balance in camera or during processing? I know it can be used for both. Just seeing what's more common with this.**
A: So if I am reading everyone correctly, here, then this is how to use this thing; for jpeg shots, you set your white balance with this thing then you go shoot.  So, if you change lighting then you need to redo your white balance before moving on.  If you shoot raw, then you take a shot of this thing, then set white balance in LR or PS against that shot, and then use that for all other shots in the same lighting.  If your lighting changes, then you have to take another test shot to set your WB with in LR/PS.  Am I understanding that correctly?

**Q: I ordered this card a month ago, and it folded down to a smaller size. This no longer looks to be the case. Is this now a different card?**
A: It can be folded into a smaller size like a 80/110 cm reflector, we just do not fold & pack it any more.

**Q: What is the difference between this one and a similar one with white/gray/black? And another one with multiple color squares that looks like makeup?**
A: Hi, 
This one and the similar one with black/white/grey are used to adjust white balance on your camera.  The other color square cards are used for color calibration.

**Q: Is the "white" side appropiate for white balance?**
A: I use the grey side for white balance and it worked perfectly.
