Finally an explanation of why to use a gray card for light balance! Thanks!

One great option in setting the K-Value is when the exact value of a flash is known. This helps also to spot-on the WB when using flash

I just have been lucky enough to purchase an almost unused D700 complete with the original box and all accessories. I therefore found this video very useful and have started watching all your D700 related content. Thank You!

Thank you for the simple, great tips , i love these kinds of videos straight to the point.

I usually use an expodisc, shoot a frame with it from subject's perspective and then pick white balance from there for all the shots under that lighting condition. If it's colour critical, then I use the colorchecker card.

Hi Frederik, I have been useing the grey card as a reference in post for along time and as you say it certainly gets the white balance spot on it is so easy to do it take's away all the guesswork at getting the colours correct.

Thanks for posting this. I still own a D700. Very usable even today. I only wished it had the focus eye detection of the mirrorless cameras but I learned how to live with out it.

Good video. You mention that setting K directly was something you probably wouldn't do, and that it might be a bit esoteric. Thinking about this, my thought was, "well, I could set it and take a photo and then adjust it depending on whether the photo looked too orange or too blue". But that seemed like a lot of work, so it occurred to me that I could change the K value while in Live View. I tried it in a shot that had both warm inside lights and a window letting in overcast daylight. It worked great! Just turn on live view and set the K according to the look you want. I would not have thought of this if not for your video, so thanks!

Hi Fredrik once again thank you so much for teaching me something new . I knew how to play around with WB but didnt know anything how to use Pre option in WB, I really appreciate your hard work like i suggested before i will appreciate it if you can make video for each feature of the Nikon D700 thats gonna be awesome because there are a lot of photogs out there who own Nikon D700 and they would love to watch and learn at least i am watching :O) and learning thanks to you. Very simple clear information . you can even start with what every buttons does on the front of the camera and back of the camera and how to use or customize them and then you cna go into menu and shooting menu and what ever is in there and give us some shots and explain . and how to shoot in A mode S mode or in manual mode i am sure we all would love that . I guess i am asking a lot but this is gonna be amazing and trust me i searched alto on youtube and i only one detail Nikon D700 full tutorial and you are gonna be the second person adn you can go in to detail and its gonna benefits us all and you can grow your audience and its not only about Nikon D700 its photography in general. and second suggestion is that i never used or had Lightroom but if you start teaching from basic to advance i swear i will buy Lightroom if i decided to take pictures and if i get client and i i can make money i will for sure. Thank you once again for your honest reviews and tutorials keep posting.

Wow, super helpful! Not sure I would've ever figured out the custom WB storage procedure.

Great video.

Thanks for useful video. Best regards from Poland.

Thank you for the video Frederik, it was really useful for me that I'm getting started! Greetings from Argentina!

I think the idea behind being able to dial in the exact kelvin number is to match studio lights that output light at a specific kelvin number, 3200 I think is common.

Thank you very much !❤💚💙

Well done, very informative content 👍

Hi Frederik, another well executed video. Just to go back about a month and your video the D700 in 2020 is 12 mp too little? Well we recently added a D2Hs to the collection 4.1mp great images.

very helpful - thank you

at first, thanks for your video, and thanks for use this beautiful "old" camera!!! I take photos in studio with the d700 and get the white wall behind actors with temperature like yelow, i did the preset mannualy with a withe papper too, but no work. :( i dk what to do, but this is nice to see!!!!!!! sorry for my english

Thank you

Hi Fredrik, I'm 75 so things take a little longer to sink in !! When you have set the white balance in the pre set(d0) does that setting stay with the camera or when you switch off does it reset ? Also Does this procedure only apply to manual mode or can it be used in A P or S. Excellent tutorials thank you for sharing. Regards Nick G

Very informative and useful. Thank you.

Excellent video! Nice to introduce the grey cards once again. I had forgotten about them. Check a picture I made on holiday for the amount of detail the D700 can produce. www.flickr.com/photos/148981344@N02/50218346883/in/dateposted-public/ In front of the house you will see the horticulturists.
