Manfrotto Lastolite XpoBalance Bedienungsanleitung

Possible Uses of the XpoBalance

Pre-Capture

The XpoBalance is an ideal location tool which can be used pre-capture to

white balance your camera, to balance your histogram for more accurate

exposure or to accurately set your exposure.

1. Using the Black/White/Grey side of the

XpoBalance, zoom in on the centre so

that approximately equal portions of

black, white and grey can be seen in the

viewfinder (as indicated by the green

square in the photo).

33. Examine histogram on camera

4. Decide on appropriate exposure and

change as required to highlight mid,

light or dark tones–the general aim is

to achieve a centred histogram.

2. Take photo (with camera on manual)

Custom White Balance—for calibrated colours

1. Select White Balance on camera menu

22. Fill viewfinder with white section (or

grey section depending on your camera

—refer to your camera manual) of the

XpoBalance (as indicated by green

square on photo).

3. Set white balance (refer to your camera

manual for specific instructions).

Balancing your Histogram—for best exposure on all tones.

This shows a histogram where some

of the details have been lost on the

light tones.

Possible Uses of the XpoBalance

Pre-Capture: Exposure Selection

The XpoBalance allows you to accurately set your exposure before you

shoot.

1. Select the spot meter on your camera, or

use spot meter.

2. Take a spot meter reading off of one of

the three greys. A reading off of the 18%

grey will give a mid exposure, the dark

grey will over-expose the shot by half a

stop and the light grey will under-expose

the shot by half a stop.

3. Turn your camera to manual and set your

exposure according to the most appropri-

ate reading.

Post-Capture

The XpoBalance is perfect for the photographer working under pressure e.g.

weddings, catwalk etc. By taking one photo in each different lighting situation

with the XpoBalance in shot the busy photographer can then continue shoot-

ing leaving the worry of perfect exposure and calibration until after the shoot.

Even then, exposure and calibration adjustments need to be done to only one

photo—the rest of the photos taken under the same lighting conditions, can

be batch processed.

Adjusting Tones: Post Capture

21. Take one photo in each different lighting

condition with the Black/White/Grey side of

the XpoBalance in shot.

2. Using image editing software such as Pho-

toshop® open up the image with the

XpoBalance in it.

3. Using Photoshop® you would go into

‘IMAGE’, ‘ADJUSTMENTS’ and ‘LEVELS’.

4. Apply the white dropper to the white sec-

tion of the XpoBalance to highlight white

tones e.g. the bride’s dress, the black drop-

per to the black section to emphasize the

dark tones e.g. the groom’s suit and the

grey dropper to the grey section to adjust

the mid-tones e.g. for accurate skin tones.

Adjusting Exposure: Post Capture

1. Take one photo in each different lighting situ-

ation with the 3 greys side of the XpoBalance

in shot.

2. Using imaging editing software such as Pho-

toshop® open up the image with the

XpoBalance in it.

3. In Photoshop® you would go into IMAGE,

ADJUSTMENTS then LEVELS or CURVES

(before you do this you may want to go into

FILTER, BLUR and apply GAUSSIAN BLUR to

make sure you get a true reading).

4. Place the grey dropper on each of the differ-

ent tones of grey which will change the expo-

sure of your image. Select the most suitable

exposure, click SAVE and name your saved

setting.

5. To batch process you can then save the

above action and apply it to all other images

taken under the same lighting conditions

(refer to the instructions of your software

package for more details).

ance with one hand on

either side.

and upper hand down, to

3. Tuck in the ends
