For g12, in shooting mode, I click on function set button, then move to the custom WB, click on menu and it will evaluate the WB.

For g7x, I would need to shoot at the grey card and save it as a picture, then I would need to go to the custom WB, then it will then evaluate the WB based on the grey card I had shot...

why hey I would need to do custom WB, is because I am diving with the camera and at diff depth, the color changes...

Thank you for adressing that.

Also for me this is very dissapointing! While shooting with quick changing light situations - e.g. change between sun/shadow, changes due to moving between color reflecting objects like colorful steel Containers etc. - it is important for me to adjust quickly custom WB.

I have the S90, S95, G1X and G3X. I defined the S-Button for custom WB; within one (!) second, pointing at a small white card and pressing the button, WB is done.

I was shocked, that with my new G9x II (e.g. by Video button) this was not possible anymore.
