Gray Card 30 cm for Studio Cameras and Photography - Pixco Szara Karta

Pixco Szara Karta is a 30 cm gray card designed for studio cameras and photography workflows where consistent white balance and accurate exposure are required. The neutral gray surface serves as a reliable reference target for color calibration in still photography and video recording, helping to standardize color rendering across different lighting conditions and camera settings.

Advantages

The 30 cm size provides a balance between portability and a sufficiently large reference area for headshots, product photography, and small group portraits. A neutral, mid-gray surface minimizes color cast and makes it straightforward to set custom white balance or to use in post-production color correction. The flat, non-reflective finish reduces specular highlights and preserves tonal accuracy when measuring exposure.

Suitable for

• Studio portrait photography and controlled lighting setups
• Product photography for consistent color reproduction
• On-location shoots where a compact, reliable gray reference is needed
• Video production and color grading workflows
• Calibration tasks before colour-critical post-processing

Key specifications

• Reference surface: neutral mid-gray designed for white balance and exposure calibration
• Size: 30 cm diagonal/edge suitable for close to medium-distance framing
• Finish: matte, low-reflectance surface to minimize highlights
• Compatibility: usable with still cameras and video cameras across common workflows
• Portability: compact format that fits most camera bags and studio kits

How to use

Place the gray card in the scene under the same lighting that illuminates the subject, filling enough of the frame to allow the camera or post-processing tools to sample the neutral tone. For in-camera white balance, point the camera at the gray card, frame it so the card fills the focus area, and set a custom white balance or use the card as a reference shot. For exposure, meter off the gray card to determine proper exposure levels. In post-production, use the gray reference to set neutral midtones and correct color casts in RAW converters or color grading software.

Usage recommendations

Keep the gray card clean and free of fingerprints or dust; store it flat to avoid warping. When working in mixed lighting, take a reference shot with the gray card under each dominant light source. For repeatable results, capture a gray reference at the start of each session and include it in the footage or image set for later color correction.
