WHITE-BALANCE TOOLMake sure your camera’s white balance is as accurate as possible using the BRNO baLens cap. Just squeeze both side tabs of the cap for easily placing on the lens. Take a reference exposure with the camera set on manual focus/auto exposure mode. The cap then allows the setting of a custom white balance based on the actual color temperature of the light source. The cap is available in standard 52mm to 77mm sizes. Estimated Street Price: $44 to $64. Contact: HP Marketing, (800) 735-4373, www.hpmarketingcorp.com.
