Hello Axel and thank you for your reply I was using the auto white balance and the back was the 132CF 22mp back
how is it best to use the grey card do I fill the whole frame up with the grey or just have a portion of it in shot and use the eye dropper to colour correct n post prodction ?
also the images came out with a slight blur I am not sire if it was the ISO level as I had it on 400 I have heared that the H2 can only manage ISO100 is this correct ? could the fact I had a higher ISO cause any of these problems?
Thanks

The ISO relates to noise in the image, and a sharp hairline should stay equally sharp with higher iso, just more noisy...
He H2 has a lot of mirror slap, and if you have and unsturdy tripod, while using a shutter speed below say 1/50 (?) you might get some trouble with blurring of the image.
To gray balance:
1. open up you first image in flexcolor, this should have a gray card present somewhere in the center of the image.
2. use the eyedropper tool next to the color temperature sliders in FlexColor to click on the gray card in your image.
3. click command+8 on your keyboard to get to the "thumbnails window" in flex.
4. choose all the images using command+a.
5. click on the modify button.
6. select the top function and choose "current setup" make sure every box is checked using the little triangle to the left.
7. all your images now get the new gray balance (assuming you want all of them to be gray balanced.)
On another note, if you dont know about white balancing procedures from the get-go, the H2 and MFDB is going to be a bumpy road before your images stand out... the MFDB world is a completely different ball-game compared to DSLR's.
