<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 26601490, member: 112673"]While cameras still perform this function, most consumers find such knowledge largely useless in the digital age of algorithms and instant review. It was invaluable during the film era when shooting 'blind," (I'm aging myself), but thankfully it's almost irrelevant now. Personally, when adjusting white balance, I find the variables introduced by using a grey card—such as its placement, angle, lighting, and card type—are unnecessary, even with coins. Grey cards can also fade over time due to exposure. It's quicker, simpler, and more precise to know the light's colour temperature and set the camera accordingly. In the OP, I mentioned sharing how professional photographers address problems, and this is a good example. Professionals aiming for accurate colour don't use lights with unknown or mixed colour temperatures.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
