  EX1R – setting your own white balance

  Posted by Ben Traylor on June 23, 2011 at 8:25 pm

  I searched this before I posted because I’m sure someone has asked this before but how do you manually set your own white balance.

  On my Z5U, I can literally dial up any color temp I want. How do you do that on the EX1R? Is it possible?

  Thanks,

  Choose a Picture Profile and got to Set scroll down to White and set temp there

  Yeah, I read that from searching. You may have been the one to post it. You answered my question. Thanks Mike. I was hoping I could adjust white balance on the fly instead of setting pic profiles. It’s no big deal, just a personal preference.

  Thanks again,
  Ben

  Sure.
  You have an option to make a WB whenever you want pushing a button under the lens.
  Tweak the PP every time you wanted to make a WB would be very little practical.
  Every camera able to make a WB have that function.

  I believe you can just open the Picture Profile while recording and see.

  Good Luck

  Got you. We are talking about to different WB options.
  You are pointing to how to preset the “Color Temperature”.
  I was pointing to what is the WB operation when is the camera who sets the temperature.

  Since I’ve been shooting with a DSLR, I’ve come to love being able to dial in the white balance and color temperature. I would like to see this feature added somehow on the EX cams… firmware update?
