    Good morning, I have a full spectrum converted 5Dlll that I use different IR filters on. Most of the filters need their own custom WB. Is there any way to save a custom WB labeled on the camera itself? So that as I switch filters and need to switch to a new WB I can just scroll to where that profile is saved and activate it. I have been told some Nikons have this function but i haven't found any thing like that on any of my Canon cameras. Thanks for your help. Kate

    There are 3 savable profiles in the 1d series, but to be honest while that is really convenient, all you have to do is look at what the color temperature is that you are using for those filters and dial that in under the K (kelvin) option. Canon uses a quick option of selecting a photo shot under the situation showing white or even better a 18% grey card to set the WB based on that lighting.
