Description

How to set the white balance color temperature numerically on the EOS 7D.

Solution

You can set the white balance's color temperature numerically in Kelvin. This is for advanced users.


1 Select [White balance].
  • Under the <> tab, select [White balance], then press <SET>.

2 Set the color temperature.

  • Turn the <> dial to select the [].
  • Turn the <> dial to set the color temperature, then press <>.
  • The color temperature can be set from 2500K to 10000K in 100K increments.
  • When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
  • If you want to set <> to the reading taken with a commercially available color temperature meter, take test shots and adjust the setting to compensate for the difference between the color temperature meter's reading and the camera's color temperature reading.
