<p>Sorry - I'm about 4.5 years too late for this thread, BUT...for the sake of anyone wanting to create a custom white balance for the H*D cameras, THERE IS A WAY!!<br> First, don't be confused with manual color balance adjustment, as some of the previous posts were. <br> Here's how you do it -<br> 1. Select one of the programmable buttons on the grip, and go to Custom Functions.<br />2. Use the front cog wheel to locate that button, for example the AE-L or maybe the Mirror up button.<br />3. Then use the thumb wheel to rotate until you see Gray Bal Exp<br />4. Hit the ISO/WB button to Save</p> <p>Now, each time you want to create a custom white balance - <br />1. Aim the lens at a neutral subject, gray card, etc<br />2. Click on the chosen button (AE-L, Mirror UP, or whatever)<br />3. The camera will make an exposure, and if all is well, you'll see a GREEN rectangle appear on the digital back LCD screen.<br />That's it. You've made a custom white balance. It will remain in place until you change it.</p>
