https://www.raynauld.com/zh/custom_16420.html ☉ The difference between Visual & Absolute Color? ☉ The difference between Visual & Absolute Color? ☉ What is the difference between the “Visual Color” and the “Absolute Color” in photo?     The photo colors taken with the “Visual Color Position” and the “Absolute Color Position” are quite different from each other.  The “Visual Color” is the color that we are familiar with our naked eyes in daily life; while, the “Absolute Color” is more close to the color revealed under the standard lighting environments, such as under the 6500K lighting in photo studio for example, free of tinted effect. Please select which color position to use with to meet your photographic needs.     Digital Cameras come out with color cast photo frequently. These color cast photo is the result of the camera color temperature calculation errors. These colors are neither “Visual Color” nor “Absolute Color”. It is simply in wrong color!                               Visual Color                                                            Absolute Color

https://www.raynauld.com/zh/custom_15705.html How to use Directivity Color Calibration Filter How to use Directivity Color Calibration Filter ○ How to use RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration Filter:   The color of light is the color temperature itself. Based on this basic understanding, it is easy to understand how to make use of RAYNAULD™ Directivity Color Calibration Filter: It would be closer to the Absolute Color of the object if the center part of the Filter receives less illumination quantity from the main light source; it would be closer to ambient color tone if the center part of the Filter receives more illumination quantity from the main light source. For examples, by fully extending the Filter cup out of the barrel to allow the cup well exposed to the main lighting that would achieve colder tone color temperature in the morning while warmer tone in the evening. Thus, you could easily manipulate the color tone to your preference between the Absolute Color and Visual Color by adjusting the Filter position in the barrel.   Custom White Balance for Canon Camera:   Perform this procedure with the shoot mode of P.A.S.M. under the actual light source: 1.Point the lens to the shoot scene with setup manual or automatic     focus being set. Cover the front lens with “Raynauld Directivity Color     Calibration Filter” and snap for a photo. After that, the barrel filter     can be removed from the lens. 2. Select [Custom White Balance] and press 3. Import the White Balance Data.     。Select the image that was captured in the step 1, then press .     。On the dialog screen that appears, select [OK] and the data will       be imported.    。When the menu reappears, press the button to exit the menu. 4.Press to display the Quick Control screen. 5.Select the Custom White Balance, then press. Then, start shooting     or taking video. Custom White Balance for Panasonic Camera:   Perform this procedure with the recording mode of P.A.S.M. under the actual light source: 1.Press the right button on [MENU/SET], then select White Set 1. 2.Press the UP button to display the small window. 3.Point the lens towards the shoot scenery, then cover the front lens     with Raynauld Directivity   Color Calibration filter. 4.Press the [MENU/SET] to complete the setting. Remove the filter to     shoot a photo or take a video.   5 Basic Setting Positions for DCC Filter to use with camera:   A For indoor B For outdoor -  short range, portrait, street view C Outdoor – Middle to long distant photograph & Indoor Portrait   D Top Flash  for manual white balance setting E Using the blue filter cup in the yellow indoor lighting to maintain the warm tone. Users’ attentions: * The methods and steps to do the Manual White Balance (White Set, Custom White Balance, etc.) of each camera brand are different. Please refer to the camera manual for the correct operation. The option of “Manual White Balance” might only be available when the shoot mode is set in P, A, S or M. * When using the remote flash or indoor photography lighting system, please follow the same above-mentioned steps while turning the flash light on and the required light system to perform the custom white balance with the filter. * Set the photo style to NATURAL (NEUTUAL) with variety of (0,0,0,0)!  The sharpness can be slightly increased.  Based on the actual photo on monitor, the brightness might need to be adjusted if necessary for the best result. However, there might exist color cast to blue, red or green after the color calibration adjust using the filter, there might need to adjust the camera color system to correct its problems in order to shot for environmental color photos.  For instance, Olympus E-PL1 has to set -3 in order to eliminate its reddish phenomenon of its photo.   * If encounter the unusual excess resistance while stretching out or drawing back the DCC Filter body, please twist the body a little bit to solve the problem. * For those professional photographers who always mount the lens hood on lens or would rather not to take off the lens hood from the lens, please select the outer diameter of DCC Filter is smaller than the minimum inner diameter of lens hood so that the DCC Filter could be inserted into the lens hood for proper works. Or, you might choose a larger DCC Filter to cover the lens hood to work properly. * Whenever photography scene or character display contents are changed, the average value of the color temperature of the framed scene would be varied. Be sure to redo the above-mentioned manual white balance to get the best color accuracy. * When in use, only need to cover the front end of lens with Color Calibration Balance Filter to conduct the “Manual White Balance”. There is no need to cover the whole lens body with the black sleeve of the filter. * Please avoid using the over-sized filter as it would degrade the color measurement performance in accuracy. * The color calibrating function of the Filter is limited by the color system of the camera itself. It can not be expected to override the camera build-in system, such as shooting under extremely low light and low color temperature scenes (such as candle lights) or the color cast design of the camera etc. * At a special photographic environment with a single color, please use a gray card or put additional staff on site to perform the white balance adjustment.  It also helps to do the color calibrating by putting extra movable staff, such as chairs, cloths or body, in the scene. * The colors from the “Visual Color” and “Absolute Color” positions are different from each other. Please choose and adjust based on your needs. * Keep the Filter clean and away from any grease that could color the filter and damage its color calibrating accuracy! Clean with soft and dirty free towel. * None of the current camera is equipped with the color temperature auto adjusting screen. Thus, please do not use the camera screen to do the photo on site calibrating purpose.   ★ PCT NO. PCT/CN2014/000209   ★ CHINA PATENT NO. ZL 2014 2 0104131.X   ★ TAIWAN PATENT NO. M481554  
https://www.raynauld.com/zh/custom_15706.html How to calibrate the monitor or big LED TV? How to calibrate the monitor or big LED TV?  How to calibrate the monitor or big LED TV? The monitor color must be well calibrated before doing the “environmental visual color” calibration of camera and the filter. As to monitor calibration, we would recommend Datacolor Spider4 or any professional monitor calibration application for best results. However, there is an alternative method by using the retina iPad for this purpose for color comparison between the digital photo and real world. How to conduct the photo color with environmental color for calibrating? The easiest way to do so is to shoot photo at the spot and make color comparison on the monitor or iPad immediately.  We would suggest to place a few of well-familiar house hold staff and colorful clothes in the scene for easy comparison.  Human vision is very sensitive towards direction as well as any reflection of objects.  Thus, it would be a good ideal to view the scene in the same direction as the lens was pointed to for best results.     ★ PCT NO.
