Thanks mate, I've been struggling with this matter for quite a while, but thanks to your very detailed explanation I've finally got it! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Congratulations for creating new channel. Your method is very much simple and understands in a fraction of second. Superb style of presentation on CZcams. Good luck and thank you.
How come that a Nikon D7200 produces less accurate and less nice colors than most smartphone cameras in Automatic White Balance mode? I made this experience also with my Nikon D70s. In forests or shadowy conditions most of the times a smartphone camera would render the colors much more accurate and pleasingly than an DSLR. It's not only Nikon that has the problem. Also more expensive Canon cameras seem to be less accurate than cheaper cameras. I just don't understand how this is possible. Also why is it not possible today that in mixed light conditions the camera can "color" the part of the picture which has another light (for example the outside part) so that it fits the scenery? For example the window where the outside scenery has another color. The camera could just color this part with a different setting. We can adjust and process our images so well, why isn't there an automatism for this problem?
I have a problem. First I correctly set my exposure: meter is in the middle. Then I put the ExpoDisk on, to take a picture for the custom WB, but the exposure is not right anymore. It goes at least 1 stop under. Why is that? Should I leave the exposure as it is and just take the picture, or should I adjust it again, while ExpoDisk is on?
Yes, you are right, I always set the correct exposure with the disk on the camera. But then, when I long-click the WB button and have PRE flashing, exposure goes way down, being in manual mode of the camera and not changing anything.
Can you please explain why a gray OR white card can be used to set a custom white balance? Based on your explanation, using a white card makes perfect sense. A gray card makes none.
tip for you newbies .... you can shoot in live view mode and set white balance. It will change in real time allowing you to find the proper Kelvin setting or preset.
Who sends someone out for an "assignment" and tells the photographer to shoot in .jpg on a semi professional expensive camera like the d7200? I own the d7200 and ALWAYS ALWAYS shoot in raw. If i have enough card space I shoot JPG and RAW and back up the card in the second slot. JPG is very limited on adjustments you can make once the digital information is heavily compressed. If you were go to work on a music recording would you want the compressed MP3 or the original multi tracked master? You have a camera that can take world class images, why would you not take advantage of all it has to offer? I guarantee, once you start using Raw you will never go back to jpg. Simply put, RAW contains more information for a better photo. Yes, there are some caveats...First, the files are HUGE. Secondly, you can't view RAW d7200 photos on most standard photo viewer programs like your phone or windows 10 unless you have an app. You also have to download a patch from Adobe that allows you to do so in photoshop after you convert them to adobe's RAW called .DNG. BTW, Nikon supplies software with your d7200 that allows you to view .NEF. So why did I mention all of this? For the most part, you can set white balance to automatic and make any adjustments afterwards. This will allow you to concentrate on lighting, lens choice, aperture, shutter speed, ISO and composition. If you want to learn more about photography check out postings from these 3: the angry photographer, matt granger, or art of the image (to name a few)...
wow....my comments were directed at the video and not taking advantage of the camera's full potential by shooting jpg. I don't know who you are and why you are taking this so personal. The video was about a d7200 not a d750. As for your response from a university posting, you should learn how to write a sentence as your syntax is awful. It should be "why bother writing all of those comments," or maybe "why bother making comments like these here." And I think you meant to say, "I shoot raw with my d750." You switch from the present tense to the future tense and to the past tense all in that line. I'm betting Penn State offers creative writing classes.
Gregg Tampa Plenty of wedding photographers shoot in JPEG, they get great results, customers are very happy with both quality and price. Reduced price by quicker workflow. A good photographer can get great results in JPEG. And there's plenty of scope to edit JPEG files.
I haven't touched my camera in a year and I came across this video in a search. Really appreciate the content
Thanks mate, I've been struggling with this matter for quite a while, but thanks to your very detailed explanation I've finally got it! You got yourself a new subscriber!
Detailed, slow and steady. Just the right speed for myself to comprehend. Thank you

The best tutorial videos for photography, the right information with the least of exposure times
Best video about White Balance that I've found so far
EXCELLENT TUTORIAL! I am able to use this WBi nfo for my D7200 AND my d750...THANKS!
Now that's a great and detailed tutorial to understand the white balance.
The WB preset info was very helpful.. I have the D7100 and the D7200

very good... thanks
Good job man, thanks a lot!
very good ...thanks man
Thankyou!
Thank you
It is no brainer. That is why the camera comes with all those WB options..
I have a problem. First I correctly set my exposure: meter is in the middle. Then I put the ExpoDisk on, to take a picture for the custom WB, but the exposure is not right anymore. It goes at least 1 stop under. Why is that? Should I leave the exposure as it is and just take the picture, or should I adjust it again, while ExpoDisk is on?
I haven't used the ExpoDisk, but I assume you'd set the exposure with the disk on the camera since it reduces the amount of light entering the camera.
Yes, you are right, I always set the correct exposure with the disk on the camera. But then, when I long-click the WB button and have PRE flashing, exposure goes way down, being in manual mode of the camera and not changing anything.
prefer RAW...
Good sir
very nice
Can you please explain why a gray OR white card can be used to set a custom white balance?
Based on your explanation, using a white card makes perfect sense. A gray card makes none.
Sorry just saw this. Setting a white requires a neutral tone with some detail. White or gray both work.
gracias!!

Why would anyone use JPG when you have RAW capabilities ? with RAW you don't have to worry about camera balance.
Speed, file size, the ability to move photos directly from your camera. Journalists, for example, might have a need, on deadline to shoot jpegs.
nobody shoots JPEG unless they are shooting sports for ESPN.
