So, I ocasionally shoot pics and videos of my reef tank with my Mark 4. However because of the 20,000K color temp of the aquarium lights some white Balance adjustmentsn are needed. I register a white balance reading to the camera but that only gets it in the ball park. I need to fine tune it with the WB SHIFT/BKT feature. However I cant find any way to save it so I can go back to it later.
Here is a vido in case you all are curious...

Custom White Balance Register from the first Menu tab. You can have five different WB's.

Thanks but I am not asking about savint the white balance register. The one I am asking about is where you move the joy stick across an X/Y screen to get the WB shift where you want it...

Maybe I am not understanding but you take a photo with at least a 50mm lens. Have a full screen white piece of paper and do this at the venue you are shooting. Save it and all you need do is apply it.

Of course a changing WB is going to be a challenge. But when you get the one or ones that work, save them to the 1D Mk IV.
You can have five plus the standard ones that come from Canon.
I had a son-in-law, had as we divorced him, that had several 55 gal 'fish tanks'. He was always wanting some photos to show them off, so of course being my son-in-law, I did it. And this was film, mind you. Not digital and Photoshop.
I am not really knowledgeable about aquariums and that is/was my only exposure to them.
BTW, mentioning PS, that is where you should be doing this. Not with the camera as you should be capturing RAW files and let PS do it's magic. Great photos are onyl half made in the camera. The other 1/2 is PS!

What if you use the Save Camera Settings to Card option and create a special file with you WB settings?

If he is using RAW and PS, it should not matter.
