Too much "yellow" in my camera.

[mdslammer]

Hello all,

I'm a novice at best. But I'm trying to learn as I go.

I have a D5200 am I'm going to be shooting video for a project on Tuesday.

The image in my viewfinder has too much yellow in it. Same when I pop
it in my PC.

Using Ari lights. (2) 300wt and1 500wt soft box. How to I white balance
my camera to get an accurate color? Using the highest resolution available.

Thanks.

Sounds like you need to use a different White Balance setting. What temperature are your Arri lights?

Arri are 32K. Where do I go to set my white balance in the 5200 please?

 

[Horoscope Fish]

I'm not intimately familiar with the D5200 but there should be a White Balance option in the Shooting Menu...

Press the "Menu" button on your D5200, highlight the SHOOTING MENU (Camera Icon) and scroll down until you see "White Balance".

Why not just shoot a quick pic with a white balance card beforehand? Then you can set a custom at that point.

Hi Pretzel,

Sounds like plan. After I shoot a pic of the white balance card, how do I set up a custom point?
And then, how do set the camera to us this custom point?

Thanks

Glad to help, and glad HS found the link while I was at lunch.

It was a re-learned lesson for me, as well, recently. LOL
