O Custom White Balance - Canon EOS 7D Mark II Instruction Manual

White Balance
To the human eye, a white object looks white regardless of the type of
lighting. With a digital camera, the color temperature is adjusted with
software to make the white areas look white. This adjustment serves as
the basis for the color correction. With this function, pictures with natural
color shades can be taken.

O Custom White Balance

Custom white balance enables you to manually set the white balance
for a specific light source for better accuracy. Perform this procedure
under the actual light source to be used.
