white balance

[mok]

The white balance on the fuji s602 is pretty frustrating.
i read some of the threads here regarding buying a $22 set of kodak grey cards. went AP in SLS couldnt find any and some kodak outlets.
By using a A4 white paper as white balance the outcome is still yellowish.
the yellow tint is even worse when u use built in flash indoors.
need some help here guys.. tried to solve it myself but to no avail..
Any solutions to the white balance? buy a kodak grey card from?
thanks for reading guys.

Some A4 white paper are not really white due to the bleaching/treatment of the paper. You might get some colour cast problem with such treated paper..

I simply use my sitoca table or a matt greyish/white surface to do white balance for ambient light/flash..

Hey! I also use my flash bounce card made out of ivory card (which u can get from artshops) to do white balance when I'm outside. The card is pretty white "balanced" & is really solid to be used as a bounce card too!!
