Hello,
I'm starting to discover my newly bought canon hf g10. In spite of being a newcomer to cams, I was aware of the white balance issue through photography, though I never gave it the importance it deserves. But now I do. I was reading many posts and articles on the net and everybody more or less agrees that for a consistent work you should manually regulate the white balance by using a white surface. And here is where opinions seem to diverge. Some advise the use of a simple white sheet of paper, some of a grey card, others say the paper should have 18% grey in it, and so on.
Is there some rule that can be used for white balancing or are we facing here experience and personal taste?
Thank you
Nuno
