Yep. A particularly handy thing to use for this is an ExpoDisc: http://www.expoimaging.com/product-overview.php?cat_id=1&keywords=ExpoDisc http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/358082-REG/ExpoImaging_EXPOD77W_ExpoDisc_77mm_Digital_White.html Just slap it in front of your lens, point at the primary light source, and grab your white-balance frame. The "ExpoDisc Portrait" is what I ended up preferring, pretty much universally. It's ever-so-slightly on the cool side of neutral, which causes the camera to compensate to ever-so-slightly warm. Oh, and while they have lots of sizes (presumably to fit particular lenses), I've found that just one big one (77mm is enough bigger than glass I regularly use) to hold in front of any lens, shade and all, is what works for me. -Jeff
