Exactly right. To be fair some cameras will not do a proper white
balance unless the gray card fills the whole frame and the expodisc
performs that function. I am not too concerned because I shoot raw
and a gray card in the first frame or the whibal which I use does the
job. It also gives me white point and black point.
