BRNO baLens White Balance Lens Cap
These baLens White Balance lens caps from BRNO provide an easy way that allows you to perfectly set the camera’s white balance while the cap is still on. They attach to your lens like a standard lens cap, but feature a translucent plastic dome allowing light to still reach your camera’s sensors. With the baLens Lens Cap mounted to the lens, take a reference exposure of the light falling on your intended subject with the camera set in – manual focus/auto exposure mode. The baLens Lens Cap will allow the setting of a custom white balance based on the actual colour temperature of the light source or sources. Under the camera’s menu functions, locate the custom white balance setting and apply the reading Warm filter effect is for use when you wish to achieve warmer skin tones, ie: for portraits, or overall “warmer” colours in photos. The baLens Cap is supplied in the following sizes; 52mm, 55mm, 58mm, 62mm 67mm, 72mm and 77mm. Each baLens Cap system($54.95) is comprised of the baLens Snap Cap, a Neutral color dome and a Warm color dome (is bluer in color and there is a red dot on the warm dome). [via 1 2]
