Adjusting the White Balance

If you change camera settings after recording white balance data, the tone may not turn out properly.

Correcting the White Balance

You can correct the white balance. This adjustment will have the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature conversion filter or color compensating filter.

B stands for blue, A for amber, M for magenta, and G for green.

Even if you change the white balance setting in Step 1 on p. 82 after making adjustments in the correction level, those adjustments will be retained. However, the adjustments will be reset if custom white balance data is recorded.

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to 7 mireds of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Measuring unit indicating the density of a color temperature conversion filter.)
