Whitebalance on functionkeys on 70D?

osterdahl — Wed, 18 Sep 2013 21:54:28 GMT

Is there someone who knows if it's possible to assign whitebalance to one of the functionkeys on 70D

I don't have the 70D to know, but if it is like the 6D where they don't let you custom WB button to any button then it is shame on you Canon.

I have no idea what is going on in the heads of the "developers" at Canon. You guys really have to stop intentionally crippling these cameras.

I think they think "people will shot raw and they don't need WB anymore". This can be changed via firmware, I hope they will listen but doubt it.

Exactly. The idea to add the custom function should have happened the instant they decided to not put a WB button on the back.
