How to use white balance bracketing on the EOS 1D Mark II, EOS 1D Mark II N, and EOS 1Ds Mark II.

Solution

With just one shot, three images having a different color tone can be recorded simultaneously. Based on the white balance mode?s standard color temperature, the image will be bracketed with a blue/amber bias or magenta/green bias. This is called white balance bracketing. It can be set up to +/- 3 levels in single-level increments.

1. Hold down the <WB> button and press the <DISPLAY> button.
  • The rear LCD panel will be as follows:

    Hold down the <DISPLAY> button.  You can let go of the <WB> button.

2. Hold down the <DISPLAY> button and turn the <> or <> dial.
  • The <> dial adjusts blue (B) and amber (A), and the <> dial adjusts magenta (M) and green (G).
  • You can only set either the blue (B)/ amber (A) bias or magenta (M)/green (G) bias.

: OFF
: +/- 1 Level
: +/- 2 Levels
: +/- 3 Levels

  • The number of remaining shots displayed on the LCD panel will be one-third the normal count.
3. Take the picture.
  • Three bracketed images will be recorded in the memory card in the following sequence: standard color temperature, decreased color temperature, and increased color temperature.
  • To cancel white balance bracketing, return the setting to <>.

  • One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 5 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter.
  • You can also set white balance correction and AEB shooting in addition to the white balance bracketing. If you set AEB in combination with white balance bracketing, a total of nine images will be recorded for a single shot.
  • During continuous shooting, the number of images recorded will be three times the number of shots taken.
  • Since three images are recorded for one shot, the memory card will take longer to record the shot.
