Re: custom white balance on G7x MKII

Hi there,

The following works on my G7X (mark I), I'd be surprised if it doesn't work on the Mark II:

  1. Press the FUNC/SET button to get the quick settings menu
  2. Scroll to the White Balance setting
  3. Scroll to the Custom 1 or Custom 2 option
  4. There will be a small square on the screen, and the screen shows a live preview of the WB setting. There's also a text stating that if we press the RING FUNC button, it will take a sample from the small square and use it to determine the correct WB. All you need to do at this point is put the grey card into view (inside the square) and press RING FUNC.

Please let me know whether this works, as I'm interested in upgrading to the G7X mark II as well (though more likely I'll wait for the G5X mark II). Hope it works!
