hi, any white balance tool to recommend?
 

how much does it cause? and where can i get it frm?

cheers mate;)
 

Are you referring to that for setting custom WB? If so, a cheap white styrofoam coffee cup works well for me. Or a Pringles plastic lid... far cheaper than Expodisc.
Then again, do know your camera's idiosyncracies.
 

Just look for any white surface. I've tried setting the WB using my white T-shirt and it turns out quite alright. There are some photographers who will carry a piece of white cardboard with them for this purpose too and some will use normal A4 sized paper for photocopying.

If you really want a Grey Card, can get from Cathay Photo at around $20 IIRC.
 

I'm a Nikon user...... but remember read a friend's canon user manual...... it said "use a white card for custom WB"...... but i think nikon said grey card :dunno:
 

camera raw
