Setting the exposure correctly seems to be the right answer as far as avoiding the dreaded "NO GD" indication. How much you fill the frame with the card probably affects how accurate your custom white balance is. | |

Your post processing software might be better at at finding an acceptable white balance than the camera software or you might trust your own judgment to find the right setting. Either way, having a reference is a powerful aid. I would guess that you are using a gray card because the lighting conditions are tricky. If that is the case, shooting in RAW and using a gray card reference is the way to go. | |
