WHITE BALANCE CARD SET USER MANUAL
THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING VELLO This White Balance Card Set is your tool to ensure accurate color in your photos and videos. The gray card provides a neutral color, while the black and white cards are for use in postproduction software. Use the gray card during your shoot to set custom white balance (WB) in camera to deliver consistent tones and accurate color throughout your images. Apply the black and white cards with postproduction software to videos or photos for quick and easy color correction.
LANYARD ASSEMBLY 2 1 1. Attach the lanyard to the cards by passing the end of the string through the holes of all three cards. 2. Loop it back through itself, and pull to tighten.
USING YOUR WHITE BALANCE CARD SET Using the Gray Card to Set White Balance You can choose an automatic white-balance setting (AWB or A) in your camera or, for best results, use the gray card in a reference image to help customize WB. Using the gray card, your camera can measure the reflected light from this neutral surface and find the exact color temperature. Note: You must make a new white-balance reference image with the gray card each time the lighting conditions change. 1.
Using the Card Set in Postproduction You can shoot the white-balance card set in a reference image and later use it with postproduction software. This allows you to create a custom profile that will color correct your photos. This reference should be taken with all three cards displayed in the photo. Shooting your images in RAW format will produce files that are more suitable for postproduction editing. 1.
