One cool little plus to the $10 grey card for us Panasonic users is: focus target :) Literally set up a cheap little tripod where your head would be, put the grey card up where your head would be, dial in your manual focus (because of course autofocus is pointless) and bam!

I recently bought a LUMIX G7, and I’m a complete beginner so these videos are extremely helpful. I want to use my camera in manual, and I think I’m starting to get the hang of it (famous last words). Anyway my grey card is being delivered today, and I can’t wait to get into using it. Thanks 🙏🙌
Learning to use your camera with all manual settings is a GREAT goal and VERY doable. Just a matter of getting used to the steps when you film (it becomes automatic after a few goes). The G7 is also a fantastic choice. It was my first camera as well.
This video blew my mind, it is incredibly the best video I've watched on TH-cam about this topic. Thank you very much. Watching your videos straight from Brazil.
I use my color chart all the time. Not for white balance or exposure, but I really need (!) it for getting rid of any color cast. Every camera (I use 7 cameras for my TH-cam setup) has a different way of reproducing color and this tool really helps to get more even colors across different cameras. For example my Canon R6 has a slight yellow/red tint, while my Sony has a magenta/green tint. The colorchecker when used with DaVinci Resolve can get rid of that in post very easily.
Yes, definitely needed for multiple camera brands!! I use Color finale in final cut (which costs money) because it has the Color chart, but DaVinci has it there for free - giving yet another reason DaVinci is the best to color grade with. I wish I had learned it - I’ll sit down an learn it soon because I want to switch to it eventually.
I bought a 6€ trio, there is a white, grey and black card bound to one set. Does the same thing and is very small to always carry it with you in case you need it. =)
Nice educational video but you forgot to mention why a grey card can be used to white balance. The reason is that a grey card or a white card are the same color to the camera (absence of any color tint). You can consider grey as 'dark white' or white as 'light grey'. So it is very much the same and you can take a white-balance measurement from any shade of white as long as it reflects light uniformly.
*was searching like a mad-man if you can 'hang' this, and I see you are doing that with the loop. THANK YOU! White balancing with computer paper no more!
I recently found your channel and I love it so much. Thank you for your amazing work and also for all the fun. You are amazing! Greetings from Germany 😊
Once again you have showed me a new trick. I have been messing with getting Dougie and my Nikon D7500 to play nice when it comes to color, just tried this and was amazed. I shoot flat on the Nikon and pp10 like you on Dougie. Seems to do the trick.
You're amazing, man! Thank you for this! As with all things, it can be a jungle to find the right tools, etc. because there are so many different products and options available - and price-points too... This is fantastic, and to me I see no real difference - atleast not one that would make me choose the more expensive one over the 10$ grey card. Keep up the excellent content. Now, go get yourself a beer, you earned one! Cheers from Denmark.
Great video, you helped alot. One small digression, music in this video is too loud and it draws attention. In all future videos take volume down for 1/3 and it will be perfect ballance. Thank you once again for your help. As a TH-camr myself i strugle to adjust my camera white ballance.
nice vid! I think would have been great telling us the K value for each 3 types of white balancing methods you used, rather than using your face to compare, as the differences maybe subtle yet could impact a product shoot.
Brilliant video! You good sir, just saved me a couple hundred dollars and settled a very long internal debate I have been having around purchasing an expensive checker. Appreciate the midnight video. =)
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis - Curious, my grey card just came in and I'm getting different results for the grey vs white sides. Matching exposure prior to setting the balance. Any thoughts?
Dude, I've seen a million YT vids, first time seeing you, but people 'like' you and me trying to do some cool stuff. I'm still grinning after the laughter. Well done, be great to have a beer sometime with you.
Excellent video about how to color correct using an inexpensive piece of equipment! Just purchased one for our podcasts (we use Panasonic GH5's). Thanks for the explanation.
I know you said there isn't really a difference between the grey foldy thing and the the more expensive card that looks more white than grey? But I'm still confused on how you get similarly accurate white balance on both of them if they're two super different colors?
Yeah - I suppose if you’re on a Hollywood set and you need it perfect every time - then maybe. To me the color checker has advantages of course with the colour chart aspect. But in terms of white balance, the difference is minimal.
Mark! 😂 I'm still watching videos to learn about cameras. The topic of this one caught my eye, 'cause I've always had a tough time getting my smartphone exposure settings dialed in. Right now, the Sony ZV E10 is the front-runner for my budget. Can this be used with that camera?
Yea - they’re really useful. You can also use them to help set manual focus with the little white target in the middle. Another commenter mentioned that. I should have put it in the video!!
I have made the manual wb on my new SV-E10 as described and it shows me 6700K - in front of a window in the morning and so the footage got a green touch. I wonder if you mentioned this green topic in an other video, I expected something around 5600K ?! 🤓 ❤ your content ✌️
well you would never clean a colour checker, because the ink is very expensive and will lose its effectiveness. you shouldn’t even touch it with your fingers. But the cheap $10 one in the video is made of a vinyl type material and can be wiped if it gets dirty. But I have never cleaned one because I’ve never had a need.
The metering mode won’t make a difference for white balancing. and the metering mode also shouldn’t affect setting exposure on the grey card because you are setting it to the grey card with the zebras. So, in a nut shell - no specific metering mode 😀
Great video! I've seen some examples where the colour checker was used for correction in post; if you color grade, is it therefore good value to buy the expensive one?
I use it yes in every video and I think it’s worth it to buy the Xrite Color Checker. I don’t always use it for white balance, but I always use it for colour grading
I bought one, opened it under the Christmas tree. With my whole family there, we could not fold it back into its pouch. I don't think I ever will be able to. Nice thing though...
Excellent video. I just purchased that from the link you provided. Thank you. On my camera which is a Z cam, it has two sliders for zebras one that goes from 55 to 100 and the other that goes from 0 to 50. So how do I adjust both of these sliders to get that perfect midpoint that you are referring to. If anyone knows the answer it would be greatly appreciated thank you in advance.
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis OK, so you are saying that I set the lower one to 40, the larger one just keep at 100? And I’m guessing everything will be zebras until I hit the gray card and what I’m trying to do is take it down to where the gray card is right at that level where if I go up or down the zebra will apply or not. If I’m making any sense at all.
I don’t have the zcam - but usually when cameras have 2 zebras, tif they can be used simultaneously- they are meant to be used like that. set your grey card to 40 and then setting your highlights to 100 so you know if you’re clipping. middle grey is usually 40 ire unless specified differently from the camera manufacturer
so if you see zebra 50 on grey card, u dial it down a bit, its the correct exposure. what about ettr, do you shoot when you barely see the zebra for ettr?
If exposing to the right, you can usually go about 1.5 to 2 stops over. So you can set your zebras at 65 for the grey card and then edit your log footage.
Skin tone, dark or light, should be exposed the same generally speaking. There are some people who expose darker tones differently, but proper exposure from a grey card is your best bet
This is exactly where I am confused. I'm exposing to the gray card. Yet skin tone is still showing zebra lines, do I ignore those or continue to darken until all zebras are gone?
Q: Hi Mark, should I do white balance first or zebra exposure with sont zv e10? I heard: match the studio light and white balance first and exposure?!! Thank you.
Umm, I don't think Hitchcock or Kubrick would have stooped so low as to use a $10 pop-up tool for their films. This is obviously not good enough for the 10s iphone video clip of my dog looking out the window. Haha! Nice video. Thank you for the info!
Will it matter in what order you set the exposure or white balance using said cards when the lighting changes? Or will it always find the neutral grey/white in any scenario?
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis oh by the way I forgot to ask. It's for a short film project. I wanted to ask for interior or exterior shots is it better to be slightly overexposed or underexposed? Meaning in post production which is better and easier to correct the exposure? I'm guessing it's more easier to darken the image if I am slightly overexposed. Also if I wanted to put a lut on image this will also darken the shot I've been told. I'm thinking of using the filmconvert nitro plug in in premier pro to give it the film look.

the worst thing about cheap grey card is that the color changes after some years, so i would replace them every now an then
Hello Sir Mark, I hope you will notice my question.. It is possible if I just take a picture of the grey card then adjust the white balance in post-production? My possible scenario on this is because if I started shooting picture I don't want to mess with my camera setting too much, if possible I just want my assistant hold the grey card for me and take a picture on a certain angle then start taking a picture on my subject.. specially on outside shooting where you have no control of lightning angle.. or maybe I'm on a event and want to shoot as fast as possible, you know what I mean? is the white balance will be different if I just wb on post rather than adjust the wb on camera? P.S. sorry if my grammar is not good, I'm not a English speaker..
If you are talking about photos, then yes - shooting in raw will enable you to just use the grey card in your picture to set the white balance. In video (unless you are shooting RAW video) it is better to white balance before you press record. Having the grey card in the frame will help you adjust the white balance in post, but if it's not close to the actual white balance, then you may not get good results.
Btw - I’m from a place called Newfoundland - tons of Irish descendants there - my accent has varied over the years, but a lot of people still ask if I’m from Ireland. Did I tell you that before - I think I might have
@@MarkBennettCameraCrisis No. Although I've seen a few youtube docs on Newfoundland alright and they have mentioned the Irish connection. In fact I've flown over Newfoundland many, many times on my way to the US. Looks pretty cold there. 🥶 Anyways, keep up the great work. I really enjoy your videos. Both very funny and informative. 👌👍
I mean lowering the actual light. studio lights can be turned up or down. of you can’t lower the brightness of your light, you can move it back or on your camera your can increase your fstop
Hi Mark, thanks for the explanations. What is your advice when your are filming a event ? So I settle the WB when I'm inside and a WB when I'm outside BUT if I want to start a scene from outside and then go inside with the same shoot, what is your advice for this ? Because with the Sony ZV E10 (maybe I'm wrong) I can't switch WB mode while I'm filming... Thank you :D
