sorry this isnt in the photo/video forum but I need a quick answer.

I have to shoot with a GL2 tonight and was wondering about white balancing. Im assuming the little lightbulb is for indoor tungsten lighting, the little sun is for outdoor, but I don't know what the little square with two triangles is for and I dont have the manual.

thanks

I don't even know what a GL2 is but on my Canon 1d it means custom white balance. You take a shot of a white card, select that shot to be used as the custom white balance and colors should be good.

That's it. Choose that option, hold up a white piece of paper, fill the viewfinder with it, and push the clickwheel.
