Thanks for purchasing our Zero Digital White Balance Filter (hereinafter 'Zero
WB Filter'). I hope you cautiously handle Zero WB Filter just like other
elaborate optical equipment. Please keep the instrument in a dry area to
maintain its quality and consistency.
We recommend that users are well aware of how to set Custom White Balance
referring the camera manual before using Zero WB Filter.
The basic information of how to use and apply White Balance Filter is stated
below.
Zero WB Filter will help you to create the color image file equal to an 18% gray
card.
Custom White Balance set is used as a way of color compensation to obtain a
color balance more correct than AUTO white balance that is provided by the
manufacturer.
Using Custom White Balance, users can properly distribute red, green, and blue
RGB to artificially create neutral gray. In other words, this product help users
to realize a correct color among the numerously diverse color casts that a
camera catches.
After Custom White Balance is set, the camera will distribute the same amount of
red, green, and blue color on any picture (under the same source of light) that
a user has taken to realize the correct color balance. Then, users can continue
photographing with the same user's setting value.
It's essential to set Custom White Balance after measuring the desirable
exposure. Otherwise, White Balance may not be correctly set. The easiest way of
getting the desirable exposure through Zero WB Filter is either to use auto
exposure setting such as "P," "S," or "A" mode or to use "M" mode with a precise
exposure meter.

Tightly put Zero WB Filter to the end of the camera lens (put it as tightly as
possible for a better result). Set the camera to AE mode (aperture priority) and
adjust the focus. Then, press the shutter button. Select or save this setting
above or the setting for the custom white balance of image. An optimal custom
white balance should be chosen against the change of light to obtain the precise
color cast.
Setting Toward A Source of Light
First, check the light thrown on a subject.
Put Zero WB Filter to the camera lens and set it toward the main source of light
shed on a subject.

Setting Toward a Subject
Put Zero WB Filter to the camera lens and set it toward a subject.
(Figure)
If the background lighting differs from the light shedding on the front of a
subject, set the camera toward the light thrown on the front of the subject, not
toward the subject for a better color cast balance. IMPORTANT: DO NOT expose the
camera to the direct light when Zero WB Filter is not installed. Direct light
may damage the camera image sensor.
For the information about the common lighting conditions, please see HELP below.
Artificial Light
Single Light Source
Set the camera toward a source of light or a subject.
Flash, Bounce Flash
Adjust and set the camera and flash toward a main light.
It'll be get a different result by height and light position, if you set the
camera flash toward to celling (bounce flash).
Combined Lighting (more than 2 light sources)
In the outside where multi light sources exist, set the camera lens toward a
subject or the general direction of light.
In a space in which a variety of bright lights exist, set the camera toward a
main light source (a brighter light source) for a better result.
Natural Light
Sunlight
Set the camera toward the sunlight. However, Zero WB Filter should be installed
in advance.
Sunrise & Sunset
If the camera faces the sun at sunrise or sunset, the warmth will be neutralized.
If the camera is set toward the side or the opposite of the sun, a better result
can be obtained.
Outdoor Shade
Set the camera toward a subject. In case lighting exists, have it behind.
Cloud
Set the camera toward a subject. In case lighting exists, have it behind.
Zero WB Filter adjusts the color white balance sensor to obtain optimum color
balance. The white balance can not be accurately adjusted unless sufficient red,
green, and blue colors are shed on a subject.
In most digital cameras, the optimum white balance can be set when the light
source is within 2800k - 9500k. In case the light source is off from the range,
the white balance can not be set or 'ERROR' message will appear.
Zero WB Filter can be installed on the other camera lens filter such as skylight
filter or polarizing filter. However, an independent and accurate color balance
may not be obtained due to the former filter.
Zero WB Filter is allowed to use a simple digital incident-light meter as
follows:
1) Even though a user is not beside a subject, under the same lighting condition
with the subject, set the camera to [Manual Exposure Mode] and put Zero WB
Filter on the front of the camera lens.
2) Then, set the camera and Zero WB Filter toward the opposite of the
photographing direction.
3) Switch on the camera and adjust the aperture and shutter speed until the
camera exposure meter displays a desirable exposure condition.
4) Remove Zero WB Filter and return to the photographing position and take a
picture.
Zero WB Filter becomes an excellent white balance tool with digital video camera.
Put Zero WB Filter and face the camera toward the background or light source.
Then, press [Custom WB] button in digital video camera. Adjust the custom white
balance against the change of lighting.
Low-Lighting and Off-Range
Under the improper lighting, the camera may deny custom WB setting, or cause an
undesirable result due to the denial. In order to obtain a good result under the
low-lighting condition, therefore, the exposure needs to be increased one stop
or two stops. This increase is to allow the user's setting WB only, not to
compensate the exposure. Before taking a picture, the desirable exposure must be
reset.
Color Cast
As a professional tool, Zero WB Filter produces a good result if properly used.
In case improperly used, unwanted color cast could occur. Read the manual and
set an optimum custom WB to obtain a satisfiable result. Due to the color
setting or monitor calibration, unwanted color cast could occur.
Combined Light
In case second light source comes with the initial main light source,
unacceptable color cast could occur.
NOTICE: While obtaining the average balance from more than 2 light sources, the
color temperature can not be adjusted at the same time. Under the spreading
combined light condition, set the camera toward the multi-light source direction.
If the direction of camera is adjusted to take a certain amount of light source
under the combined light environment, the result may change. The white balance
is also allowed against either the selected light source or main light source.
If the white flash has caused color cast due to warm light, the flash can be
balanced with the main ambient light, using flash / fill light gel. For example,
either use a color conversion filter which exceeds the flash to make it accord
with incandescent light or fluorescent light.
