Not to sure about Nikon. I think that if you go to Utube and type in "setting custom white balance" for your model of Nikon you should get the answer.

Each camera is different. I have a D3200. May want to consult your owner's manual.

No problem with windows 8.1 here. Working fine. Anyway, the provided software is really basic and for me did not provide best calibration, had the impression of a green cast. I think the software does not do white balance correctly on this express version. I strongly recommend using argyl with dispcalgui - more complicated to setup but transforms the express into an elite and the calibration is spot on. (it does take at least 1 hour to calibrate, takes hundreds of measurements)

Yes. As. Just go into settings set to manual, set peaking color, and peaking level. Best camera I ever owned, and I have 2 of them now.

I have noticed the color balance sometimes shifts in unnatural lighting conditions, i.e. when I was filming in a room with outdoor light coming through the windows mixed with fluorescent lighting. But the solution was to switch off the auto-white balance and set it manually; then it worked fine. But in other situations, with one consistent type of lighting, I didn't experience that shift. But yes, it does shift during recording in certain situations when set on auto.

Try turning the brightness down and the contrast up and also adjust the color so it looks as real as possible. Also you can change the energy saver setting to make to lighter or darker. Offhand my settings on dynamic mode are:Contrast: 95Brightness: 32Color: 64Sharpness: 90Energy Saver: Level 1

It's in the manual but the camera has a setting to override the dof focus etc. In that respect it's not really intuitive.

An FZ can be as simple or complex as you want it to be. Use IA and there is nothing necessary to adjust. Just open the flash when it tells you to. You can adjust the Exposure Value from "0" if you want. Move to the SCN modes as the next easiest step and just select the appropriate setting and press menu/set. These are all explained by pressing "display". The "dial modes" of portrait, action, landscape, etc. are the more advanced modes, where you will choose a version and have access to a specific "quick menu". Most adjustments in the dial modes will have no effect on the IA, except for Exposure Compensation, which "will" transfer. The dial modes are the easiest way to begin to learn the operation of the FZ and photographic principles. The PASM modes are for the "big kids". If you dont understand "exposure" , just stay away until you do. Every menu option must be activated or de-activated at the user's discretion. There is "no" automatic default setting in PASM. What you activate, stays activated. Most changes "lock in" within other modes. If you don't recognize the variation, you'll be lost. The first thing to learn is how to reset the camera. If you think you've "messed up", just open the menu and "reset" the entire camera to the default settings and start over again. The remote control for your TV is more complicated, it just doesn't take pictures.

Install software + latest updates if any. Place the open passport in your scene with the lighting level - either outdoors in natural light or indoors in studio light. Take shots with the passport prominently positioned with all the color chips in sharp focus at normal settings and preferably in RAW format. Take additional images if the light changes - clouds, sun, overcast etc so that you have one good image in each lighting situation. Take all the additional shots you want. Upload your RAW images into Lightroom converting them to DNG format. Select the image(s) with the Passport prominently featured for each lighting condition. Drag the DNG image into the open Passport program and the app will "read" all the color chips and will set the proper white point and you can create a specific color profile for those particular lighting conditions. Name it and save it. This same profile can then be used for every future image in those particular lighting conditions. Your white point will be automatically fixed for every image that fits that particular color profile. The sliders in Lightroom can be further tweaked to adjust the image to your particular taste. X-Rite has instructional tutorials and webinars on YouTube. It takes a lot longer to explain the process than to perform it. The ColorPassport does all the work to industry color standards. Using it conjunction with ColorMunki monitor calibration will ensure that your prints will match exactly to what you see on your monitor and your printing results will also match perfectly whether you make your own prints or send them out to a pro lab. X-Rite also has many excellent live webinars which are very useful. Hope this helps. It is an excellent product designed for pro standards.

Built into the shutter release button is a slider button thingy. You need to set that so that the white dots meet. then it should work.

Zoom lever around the release button, flash and macro on the circle rocker. Pull-up flash. Oly keeps it simple on this one. Shutter slows down when zoomed out. May be niceties like white balance buried in a menu, but I sure can't find it. Only $200, half the price of the upcoming SP-100. Only advantage of new one will be the oldschool viewfinder.

It won't lose the information. I don't like this product. Instead of pointing the camera and shooting for white balance, you have to shoot towards the direction of the light source. It is difficult to capture flash white balance with this device.

It's both, your ExpoDisc includes user selectable Warming Filters (Gels) you use for warming portraits. Without the gels it's neutral. More or less using it for exposure and white balance, like an incident exposure meter for your camera. Hope that helps

I agree with Mariano, and there are many variations of "White Paper" with different brightness levels. The DGK is consistent. I personally use the neutral gray. The two ways I know to use it are to shoot ir close up and then use your camera's custom WB to set the WB, or shoot in RAW and put the DGK in a sample shot at the start and again any time your light changes and batch adjust your WB in a program like Lightroom or Aperture.

Page 169 of the user guide [DSC-WX100_WX150_guide_EN.pdf available at the Sony website] states that {MENU-Settings-Shooting settings-write date-desired mode} should do the trick.

Depends on the filter size of your lenses if you want to attach the expodisc.But, you can also just hold the expodisc against your lenses while pointing your camera to the light source.

There is a white balance adjustment. I do love this phone, but the camera on it isn't that great. This phone is all about durability and basic function.
