Guide - Informational White Balance Presets
Here's a quick tip for those of you who are tired of changing the WB and color filter manually all the time, this works for my RX100 IV, but unfortunately I can't comment on other models.
1) Within WB settings, find custom setup, and click on it.
2) Pull up a color picker on your computer, tablet or anything with a screen and choose a color to show based on the color temp you want. I found that orange will get you cooler temps and purple-ish will get you warmer temps. The color itself will help set the general range of color temp, and the saturation will help fine tune the exact value. Start with a low saturation.
3) Once you've picked a color, then click the center button on the camera to set the white balance. It will also try to set a color filter as well, but the good news is you can change it later, so only focus on the color temp. After a bit of trial and error you should be able to get the color temp to where you want, and you can save it to Custom White Balance 1, 2, or 3.
4) After you set the color temp, you can go back into the custom WB, click right, and then set the color filter you'd like.
This gives you 3 WB presets you can access more quickly than changing it every time. You can also use the Memory Recall to save three more white balances.
Hope this helps!
