How do you White Balance an EOS 90D?

[Pking]

Hello all. I realize how stupid I sound. But I just purchased my Canon EOS 90D, and if anyone could write the basic instructions on how to white balance it, I'd greatly appreciate it.

Note: for the last 20 years I've been shooting with a Canon GL1 MiniDV camera. I felt the time finally came for me to update my camera. So, expect some surprisingly ignorant posts from me in the next few weeks. Thank you, and Happy Holidays!

jrhoffman75, I bought this camera on eBay, and the instructions it came with are very short. My instructions do not include 225 pages.

If you go to the Canon website you can download the full manual in pdf format.

As well as all the Canon supplied software for the camera.

You can download the manual from Canon. 

If you don't know what the white balance is auto WB is good. If you do and most know when you are shooting in daylight then use WB for daylight. If you shoot RAW WB is not as important.

Okay. I'll look for that now. But if you can easily provide a link, that'd be great.

I am ignorant as to what that means. Can you please explain? Thank you.

This is the Canon Product Support Home Page.  There is a link to it on the Canon Community home page.

Start typing the model of your camera into the white box "EOS 90D".  At some point a drop down list with "EOS 90D" camera packages should appear.  Select one, and the system should automatically take you to the Product Support Page for the EOS 90D.  Every Canon consumer product has a simlar web page.

You can get product details and descriptions, user manuals, software packages, wireless help, and more.  Click on "Manuals" and look for the "Advanced User Guide".  It is a PDF file, so you would need a PDF app to read it.

Oh, yeah, you will want to download the "Supplemental Information" manual, too.  Eventually, you should find reason to use the most recent copies of the other manuals, too.
