How to adjust white balance on the Canon EOS camer

For accurate color with any digital camera, a proper white balance must be done. To obtain your proper white balance on the Canon 5D, 20D and 30D start by switching on the camera and turning the Shooting Mode to Program. Put the lens in manual mode and turn the image stabilization off. For studio strobes keep the camera in manual. Attach the ExpoDisc to the front of the lens and take a picture directly at your light source.

For the 5D push the menu button and scroll down to the Custom white balance (Custom WB), push the set button, select the picture that was just taken with the ExpoDisc. Press the Menu button, next press the auto focus white balance button (AF-WB), and change the white balance to custom on the top display. In the 1D Canon, you select the custom white balance (Custom WB) option. Hold down the select button and scroll to the picture taken with the ExpoDisc, after selecting your image, press the white balance button below the LCD to select the custom white balance option.

For fast accurate and consistent white balance, talents recommends the ExpoDisc. The ExpoDisc comes in most standard lens filter sizes and is available at our web store www.talent.com or by calling 1800-433-8685.
