Setting The Color Temperature - Canon EOS 20D Instruction Manual

Custom White Balance*
_'_ _ If the exposure Obtained in step 3 is underexposed or overexposed, a
correct white balance might not be obtained.
_ If an image was captured while the processing parameter was set te [B!
W (p.59), it cannot be selected n step 5.
[] Instead of a white object, an 18% gray ca[d (commercially available) can
produce a more accurate white balance.

balance correction (magenta or green bias) as necessary.
_ If you want to set < I_ > to the reading taken with a 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.
