P Setting The Color Temperature - Canon EOS 6D Instruction Manual

3 Setting the White BalanceN
If the exposure obtained in step 1 differs greatly from the standard

exposure, a correct white balance may not be obtained.
In step 3, the following images cannot be selected: images captured

while the Picture Style was set to [Monochrome], multiple-exposure
images, and images shot with another camera.
Instead of a white object, an 18% gray card (commercially available) can

produce a more accurate white balance.
The personal white balance registered with the provided software will be

registered under [O]. If you execute step 3, the data for the registered
personal white balance will be erased.

P Setting the Color Temperature

You can set the white balance's color temperature numerically. This 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.
