Frage von fantomaz:


Hi,
has anyone of you experiences with white balance caps? supposedly combine these white and gray. This cap is screwed on (comes in various diameters), holds the cam aud the scene (cap is translucent) and operated the manual white balance. this method with a "classical" one. WB with gray or white card to keep up?
Thank you

If they could, they would the television world, easier because no one with gray before each camera would have to make. Just translucent cap and it would be ready for the adjustment.

But this procedure has a drawback: the cap does not take into account the following picture. You film in the telecommunications field, for example, the lighting around the motif around a completely different look than s.Kamerastandort. This would give a measurement with gray (in the desired subject area) of specific and reliable than those with attached cap WB.
