Great video ... first time I"ve seen the faux color thingy .... where do I get an explanation of how to access that on my Canon %r???

@mrwintoe Год назад

Super helpful. Best I've seen on this topic. Thank you!!

What I especially found helpful is 1. Putting it on a tripod where your head will be to set focus, exposure, and white balance. Amazing tip so I don't have to rely on auto focus! 2. False color reading for middle grey. BTW, I prefer setting white balance with the GREY side. Using the white side can be unpredictable in various lighting, especially if the exposure blows out the highlights. Thanks!

where did you get that light stand clamp arm and what its called? the brand?

@PluggedinAV 10 месяцев назад

Not quite sure which one you mean but it’s probably a magic arm from Amazon. Just have a search, there are loads. I like the small rig ones or if you want a bigger one Manfrotto make some great ones too

Gray side is NOT for setting whitebalance. White side is. Gray side is for setting proper exposure.

@Stasiek_Zabojca Год назад

No, not really. To be honest, grey is best for both setting proper exposure and white balance, white to check if you are not overexposing anything. In reality, in most cases if exposure is correct and white/grey cards are good quality, both effect will probably be close enough.

@HenriT Год назад

@@Stasiek_Zabojca yes yes really. You may think that gray side best, but its only your idea.

@johnwood406 Год назад

Why does the target reticle appear green in your right side camera and white in the dead on camera?

@Stasiek_Zabojca Год назад

It's green because he has focus peaking turned on.

@angievavra332 7 месяцев назад

False color? Where do the false colors come from?

@PluggedinAV 7 месяцев назад

It’s a setting on the camera

@ifeanyi_maduka Год назад

Very nice. but in truth, for exposure the main tool was your false color, not the grey card.

@KabbaVArtAndDesign 6 месяцев назад

I’m confused, I thought lower number WB was warm and higher number WB was cool

@PluggedinAV 6 месяцев назад

That’s correct

That was quite a long video for such a simple topic, to be honest. Chapter ""What is grey card" is 1,5 minute long, but most of it is about sizes that they came in and just 15 seconds is about what it really is. And I think you should mention about it first and then proceed to types of it. Making too long videos and too much digression will is not attractive for viewers. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that you wanted to make it the best possible video, but sometimes it may get too complicated or just too long.
