A small card with white/gray/black patches is very easy to keep in your pocket and snap an exposure of if you're unsure of the light. The resulting white-balance setting can be used for all exposures taken in the same light. There are several of these available on the market, for anything from $10 to $50. Doesn't even have to be in focus... :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
