Description

How to set the white balance color temperature numerically on the EOS 20D and EOS 5D.

Solution

You can numerically set the white balance's color temperature.


1. Press the <AF WB> button. ()
2. Select the color temperature.
  • Look at the LCD panel and turn the <> dial to select <>.
3. Select [Color temp.].
  • Turn the <> dial to select [Color temp.], then press <>.
4. Select the color temperature.
  • Turn the <> dial to select the desired color temperature, then press <>.
  • The color temperature can be set from 2800K to 10000K in 100K increments.
  • When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary.
  • If you want to set <> to the reading taken with a 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.
