Canon EOS 1D Mark III User Guide - Page 47

White Balance The white balance and color temperature settings are the same as those on the EOS-1D Mark II N. Now white balance can be set with the menu in addition to setting it while looking at the rear LCD panel. The lowest color temperature has been extended by 300°K, and the settable range has been expanded to 2500°K-10000°K in 100°K increments. The Custom white balance can now be registered with up to 5 images shot on the spot, in addition to registering it with an image in the memory card. The registered Custom WB data can also be captioned. Up to 5 Personal white balance settings can be registered (PC1-PC5). On the EOS-1D Mark II N, 3 settings could be registered. The Custom white balance function has been improved. It is still set with the [Custom WB regist.] menu and, as with previous cameras, you can select an image stored in the memory card and obtain and register the custom WB data. Now, you can also take a picture and register the custom WB data. Up to 5 custom WB data items can be registered, a useful upgrade.
