P Setting The Color Temperature - Canon EOS-1 D X Mark II Instruction Manual

P Setting the Color Temperature

You can set the white balance's color temperature numerically. This
function is for advanced users.
When setting the color temperature for an artificial light source, set white
balance correction (magenta or green) as necessary.
If you 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 set this with the [z1: White balance] screen.
