I am trying to learn how to set custom balance by using a 18% grey card. For some reason I am really having trouble understanding this concept. A lot of material I am reading online is very vague about the process. They say to take a picture in the same lighting situation as the subject you want to photograph while focusing on the 18% grey card, and to fill the frame. Soooo?- does it matter what mode is shot in, like manual or auto? Do I not use the flash? I am very confused. I am a beginner, literally just starting out in photography so I'm kind of at a loss right now. I am trying to learn how to actually do this in camera and not post processing, I know there are ways to do that by taking a picture of the subject and the grey card and referring to it later, but that's not what I am asking for help with. Any advice?
