Expodisc again

Hi

I'm wondering if I can use an Expodisc with my Leica R9+DMR and if so how this is to be done.

Thanks for your help.

Cheers.

Pedro, I believe that when you place the expodisk in front of the lens, you get a "funny," grayish image. Your software allows you to White Balance to this.

 

For example, in C1, you select this image, place the eyedropper in the gray area, and click. Then you save this wb profile with a name of your choosing. Subsequently, when you bring up one or more images, you wb them with this setting.

 

Someone else might describe the wb process in PS.

 

NOTE: the image from the expodisk needs ot "see" the same light that your image will reflect. If you do a search here for expodisk you can see what the deal is. You can also go to the expodisk website:

Pedro You go into the menu and find the white balance settings, select Manual ..the camera will request that you point it at a white reference card. Put the expo disc all the way over the lens ..like a lens cap... point it at the light source (like an incident meter) ..fire the shutter. the menu will indicate that you have set a manual white balance. It will retain this setting until you reset it. Of course if the light changes you will need to take another reading.
