P Setting the Color Temperature

WB z Card/Image size
When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white
balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
If you want to set <P> 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.
You can also use the [1 White balance] menu to set the white balance.
