Canon EOS 5D Mark IV L-series Zoom Lens Kit Owner's Manual

You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have 
the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature 
conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be 
corrected to one of nine levels.
This function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who 
understand the use of color temperature conversion and color 
compensating filters and their effects.

 

Under the [z2] tab, select [WB 
Shift/Bkt.], then press <0>.

 

Use <9> to move the “ ” mark to the 
appropriate position.

 

B is for blue, A for amber, M for 
magenta, and G for green. The image’s 
color balance will be adjusted toward 
the color in the direction of the move.

 

On the right of the screen, “Shift” 
indicates the direction and correction 
amount, respectively.

 

Pressing the <L> button will cancel 
all the [WB Shift/Bkt.] settings.

 

Press <0> to exit the setting.

You can set the camera to display <z> in the viewfinder and on the 
LCD panel for when white balance correction has been set (p.489). 

 

One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds 
of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Unit of measure for color 
temperature used to indicate values such as the density of a color 
temperature conversion filter.)
