I'm shooting a dinner/dance on Saturday night (9hrs GMT) I'm using a set of portable studio flashes and would like to set the white balance manually to the lights.
I've read the instructions with the istD for setting white balance manually and it says on P142 step 3: fill the viewfinder completely with white or gray paper under the desired lighting of setting the white balance. step 4: Hold down the manual white balance button and press the shutter release button. Added as a memo is the note; No image is recorded when the shutter release button is pressed to record white balance. My questions are: Will depressing the shutter release button fire a set of studio flashes, lighting the whitepaper with the desired lighting? If the shutter release doesn't fire the flashes will using the modelling lights do? I don't have access to the studio lights I will be using until I have to shuot a dinner/dance on Saturday night (Perth time). Any thoughts would be appreciated. Cheers Colin
