GL-2 white balance too magenta–help!
I shoot mostly interviews with a GL-1 and GL-2. More recent shoots have been in classrooms for an educational DVD. At my shoot yesterday, there was an unavoidable mix of light between curtained windows and tungsten–but it was about about 80% tungsten. No matter how I tried to white balance my GL-2 (manual with card, auto, presets), the result came out looking kind of pinky–too much magenta. Not horrendous, but definitely off, and especially compared with the GL-1 which was in the same shoot.
I can’t understand why setting the white balance wouldn’t allow the colors to read truer, and have not had this problem before. I’ve got another shoot today and am paranoid about it–can anyone offer something I haven’t thought of as an explanation for this or a way to correct?
thanks a lot-
