P Setting The Color Temperature - Canon EOS-1DX Instruction Manual

P Setting the Color Temperature

You can set the white balance's color temperature numerically in
Kelvins. 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> according 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 the color temperature under [z1: White balance].
