T7i Users - custom white balance
1

I have just acquired a Rebel T7i, which is my first ever Canon.

I'm trying to set a custom white balance. Google/You Tube says go to the "second red menu". Like this:

But my menu doesn't look like that. It looks like this:

Can anyone help me understand how to set a custom white balance?

It looks like the T7i has its custom white balance in the third "red menu" tab. The instructions you found were for the T7, which is a separate model from your T7i. See page 165 of the manual.

Cheers,

I have many Canon T7i (800D) cameras.  Try the third red menu.  Then you hopefully will be able to follow any YouTube or internet instructions, now that you know where the custom white balance is in the menu.

I never worry about setting a custom white balance on the camera. If you're shooting raw (which is recommended) you can always adjust it -- if needed -- in post processing.
