Using the Expodisc with Fuji GFX for custom WB

[AlecS]

Hi! I bought the Expodisc mainly to create custom white balances in challenging lighting situations, and secondarily to measure incident light for exposure. However when I tried using it with my GF 50sii I did not find the option of creating a WB from an image already in camera. With the Expodisc I am supposed to take a picture with the Disc over the lens from the location where the subject is and pointing to the location where I am going to take the picture from. Then I am supposed to base the custom WB from that image which is almost like a grey card. The problem is that there is no option to do that with Custom WB. The only option is to shift the Balance in the screen, etc.

Am I missing something? Is there a way to do what I need to do or am I stuck with a useless Expodisc?

Thanks!

You should be able to use the Expodisc, except the procedure is slightly different than pulling an image from the card. These may help:

Scroll down to the custom white balance section for the second link.
