Clarification on White Balance Presets and K Colour Temperature

[barnettgs]

Hello,

I was wondering that does any of Canon White Balance Presets (Daylight, Cloudly etrc) changes tint?

Unlike the K Colour Temperature?

Barnett,

If I understand your question correctly, the answer would be yes.

On my camera, Daylight is equivalent to 5200K. Cloudy is equivalent to 6000K, and Shade to about 7000K. Tungsten is in the 3200-3500 range.

You can find these online

Thanks, yes I know these K figures for the presets, although I was trying to find the information on Canon site, whether the presets do change the tint or not.

I couldn't find anything other that the Google's AI search says Canon does!

If so, would I be better off using a custom K Colour temperature that will not change the tint?

barnettgs,

I'm not sure about the tint. Try taking two pictures of the exact same thing. One with the Daylight preset, and one with 5200K, and compare them. See if there is a difference.
