Note
To set a personal white balance, select [ : PC-* ] in step 2. For instructions on
registering a personal white balance to the camera, refer to the EOS Utility
Instruction Manual. Up to five personal white balances can be registered using
EOS Utility. Register separate ones for still photos and movies, as needed.
White Balance
The human eye adapts to changes in lighting so that white objects look white under all kinds
of lighting. Digital cameras determine white from the color temperature of lighting and, based
on this, apply image processing to make color tones look natural in your shots.
