6DmkII - can`t change color temperature in white balance

[Alexey Popov]

Can`t change Color Temperature in Planetary mode. If I chose Color Temperature in White Balance I see 0 value. 

If I change it - it becomes 0 back immediately. Simply does not apply changes. 

But I can change color temperature in EOS Utility... 

Buy the way, it would be very useful to have this settings in Imaging mode too (e.g. when use narrow band filters, or shooting during twilight).

In imaging mode the color balance is irrelevant since your are shooting in RAW mode, not JPG.

It is my understanding that the white balance information is embedded in the RAW image metadata. Some image stacking programs are able to read the WB and apply it to the raw image during de-Bayering.

[Alexey Popov]

Exactly. Otherwise I have to spend much more time to adjust WB on each image after shooting session during manual sorting out process (e.g with Digital Photo Professional). Probably there is a way to do it in batch mode...

In any case, the main issue - it simply does not work in Planetary mode on 6DmkII. At all.

Send me the log file where you go into planetary where your set it without it changing the camera value.

Alexey,

For future reference, there is a procedure for sending log file(s) to Guylain that does not involve posting them in the forum, where he ends up paying for the storage. Look in the How To Forum for instructions.

Thanks!
