How to CORRECTLY white balance CANON cameras - THE EASIEST WAY
I explain how to use a grey card or white card for getting the perfect white balance in a Canon camera. I used an EOS R for that but it works for every canon camera. The process of color correction in postproduction can be a bit tedious and has it's limitations. Getting correct colors in camera is a major step of bringing your videos to the next level. I explain it in general but especially for canon cameras like the EOS R since the process differs a bit from other brands. White balance in general is an underrated topic, get it right and save time in your edit.

I sometimes set the white balance of my camera in a wrong way because I didn‘t really know how the logic inside the camera works. I felt I had to make this video to show how you easily nail your colors with a white card (or grey card). Enjoy!

Thanks for the explanation! What if I want to retain the warmth of a lamp or tungsten? Should I white balance the correct Kelvin then make it warm/oranger in post, or should I do that in-camera by putting in the 'wrong' white balance, making the lamp light seem warm like the human eye is seeing it? Thanks!

@RonaldKasper 3 года назад

Hi Nathaniel! If you want to show the orange tungsten color, you shouldn’t use a whitecard because it would look like normal white then. So I would do as you suggested and use maybe 4500-5000 K in camera so that the tungsten lighting looks orange as it should

Set your metering mode to spot metering, your focus point to single and run your experiment again. In other words, it doesn’t matter whether you fill the frame or where you place the grey card in the frame as long as you are measuring correctly and in the right place.

Nice information

@hanskehanske 3 года назад

Thank you for this information. I have a question, do you use grey card when you are photographing the landscapes?

@RonaldKasper 3 года назад

Hi! I use white and grey cards differently. I use the white card for whitebalance and the grey card for correct exposure. But especially for landscapes, I don't use any cards to be honest. I mainly use them to get correct skin tones, so only when people are involved or the lighting conditions are tricky in general. For filming landscapes, I expose for the highlights (the sky). But I'm no professional landscape photographer/filmmaker so more experienced people might tell you different things here.

@bill_jennings Год назад

Great content Ron. Question: Is it better to use the "white" or the "grey"? Keep up the good work.

@RonaldKasper Год назад

Hi and thank you for your comment! You can use a white card for white balance, the grey card is for setting the correct exposure. A grey card is called 18% grey card because of the light it reflects. This 18% grey is the „normal“ exposure for cameras where all the colors look right. So if you set your cameras meter for this 18% card, your image will look correctly exposed.

For balancing use the white side. For correct exposure you can use the grey side. I didn’t show that part in the video.

@usmanmajid7837 3 года назад

Nice one thank you! However, I still don't know if I should be using the white side or the grey side of my 'grey card'. Is white really the best side for setting white balance? others say no, use the grey side. I'm so confused!

@RonaldKasper 3 года назад

Hi Usman, I only use the white side for setting whitebalance. The grey side is for setting exposure. Depending on which grey-value you have on your card, you can set the correct exposure in your camera which gives you perfect skintones. Maybe this video helps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AVoOB4MATC4.html

could you do the same with a white paper too? or must have this white card? thank you so much , and well done for the video. quick simple and informative!!!

@RonaldKasper 3 года назад

A white sheet of paper is ok but not perfect because it doesn’t reflect the light as equally from each angles as the whitecard. Second, I like that you can easily fold (or more queeze) it to a smaller size and can put it in your pocket. Third, on the back you have a 18% grey card which you can use for correct exposure. So it’s multiple useful tools in a small size. I‘d buy one and try it (see the link in the description), it‘s very cheap.

Great video but another important question is- does it metter if i use gray card or black or white? How do i know which one?

@RonaldKasper Год назад

The grey card is for dialing in the exposure. Look for „how to expose for 18% grey“ videos for more details. And I always use the white side for white balance although technically I think you could use the grey side as well.

White balance works with a grey card as well, in addition you can use a grey card to get the correct exposure of a scene. Look for videos like „set exposure with a 18% grey card“ and you’ll find out more.

Exactly. It works basically with every white surface, but the whitecards are designed that they reflect the light equally from each angle of view. So they are a bit more reliable than other white surfaces.

@amabualrub 24 дня назад

Will A4 paper do? And it would have been great if you went through the whole process, of how to change the WB in the camera menu :D

@RonaldKasper 24 дня назад

I wouldn't use normale paper, because most of it contains Optical Brightening Agents (OBAs.) They are used to convert invisible ultraviolet light into visible blue light to make the paper look more white (in most indoor scenarios) but with a blue cast. The extra blue creates an incorrect white balance in camera so it's better to use a white card (that's really cheap). The difference is not like night and day, but if you spend several thousand bucks for a camera and lenses, you might want to invest another 15 to get correct white balance :-) Next time I'd show the whole process, thanks!

@truthreason1206 3 года назад

When do you use the white or grey side?

@RonaldKasper 3 года назад

Hi! I use the white side for white balance and the grey side for correct exposure. With my Sony A7siii I know that Middle Grey should fall into 41% IRE (for slog 3). So when you expose for the grey side of the card, the camera meter should read "0" (=zero). If not, you have to correct ISO and/or Aputure that the meter reads zero. That's all, your exposure should be correct now.

Thank you Kyle! This video was filmed in C Log and I graded it manually. First I made a color correction with the whitecard, then I added some teal and orange look on my own (pushed the shadows to blue, highlights to orange). After that I raised the blacks a bit to take away some contrast. That’s it!

Choose the „custom“ icon for whitebalance that has the two triangles and one rectangle in the middle. After choosing this icon you are back in the main menu where you see „whitebalance“ and below the entry „custom whitebalance“. Select this „custom whitebalance“ menuitem. In there you can choose the foto you made in the beginning.

Your experiment only turned out that way because you used center spot metering. It turns out different if you use evaluative, or even center weighted. Please make a video to correct this, this video is misleading unless we have spot metering on, I lost a lot of money and a client when my wedding pictures turned out green.
