Nikon Z8: White Balance and Tint in ACR, Mid-Day Sunlight
Using the about $139 DataColor SpyderCHECKER. The clamshell version can be carried without damaging it. I do not use the calibration software as I have not been satisfied with the results versus the stock Adobe profiles. But I use it to establish white balance and tint with each camera + lens that I use (lenses of differing brands do vary in color transmission).
