White balance for Canon is a sheet of white paper or equivilent. Gray card is for exposure.

I shoot jpegs almost exclusively and it works everytime. Fill the centre of the frame - at least the partial metering point. If you fill the whole frame, does it matter?

Not all white paper is "white" , most actually have a blue to them. Outside I have found you can get a 500-1000K swing using white paper.

Easier to use the correct tool for the job. I know the grey card on my X-rite passport is right there in my pocket.


Canon 60D ,50 F1.8 , 17-85 , 55-250, 24-105 , Sigma 70-200
