The answer is unless the lights are shining discretely on different parts of the subject of your image, there is no problem. An example is the Ned S.

If a location has different kinds of light sources won't the white balance be off according to where you subject is?Jonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1184534445566567352.post-26523410849390380952012-03-14T14:07:08.881-04:002012-03-14T14:07:08.881-04:00I once borrowed a meter which could read color tem...I once borrowed a meter which could read color temperatures from a friend who does catalog work. I also do some catalog work, but have used the Nikon "Preset" and have gotten good results. I also put a color checker card in the photos, so I can make precise corrections in Photoshop.<br /><br />I wanted to see if I could benefit from the meter, which would enable me to dial in the Ned S.

The other ExpoDisc is a special purpose model.<br /><br />The one for portraits shift the color so your white balance will produce "warmer" color, which is, in my opinion, nice for portraits, but not at all suitable for other uses.
