I suggested the larger gray card to be better for *outdoors*. For indoors which ever one you buy does not matter. But for outdoors, where usually you focus into the infinity, the farther away you can set the white balance, the more accurate it will be as the sensor will accumulate more light between you and the card. The larger the gray card is, the farther you will go from the camera to set the white balance, as you will be able to still fill the frame after you zoom in. Capito? :) Read carefully.

Anyone ever try the 18% gray cloths, which seem handier and easier to carry around? Eugenia or anyone else: Why is the larger gray card better?

Warm cards are also a nice thing to have in your inventory. Yeah, gray cards are nifty. Warm cards are also a nice thing to have in your inventory.

I am producing videos only since last May, but my husband is a prosumer photographer for years now and he has been a good teacher. I've been using a gray card <i>for a while now</i>, it's not my first time. It's simply my first *article* about it. And besides, most of my tutorials have to do with software technicalities around video, not about art or photography techniques. I am a software person most of all, which is why I can help in that domain. What do you mean?

If we are white balancing, we are telling the camcorder that gray is white are we not? I had a 4 hr shoot tonight, got home at midnight. I appreciate all the help it is helping me to get better Nice door, thanks for sharing, seriously, I wonder how the gray card works?
