manual exposure sees three hues of image set in one sequence

[DBenz01]

Hi,

R6 Mk II

M mode and N for the style.

exposure reading on kodak grey card. held vertical.

In a garage with white translucent roof, like a human sized light box for photographing antiques etc, tracing paper tent !

An even shadowless lighting, ideal for Photogrammetry. No wind, no rain.

and a sequence of photos walking around a human firstly at eye height, then camera held high, then held low, so 10 per lap, total 30 pics.

why have i got a few neutrals (ok) , but then 2 blue cold pics then neutral then 3 yellowy hue pics, all in same walkaround ?

How can the colour temperature of a photo differ when I am set to 'N', and M exposure.

and the sun was not flitting in and out in that minute or so, else I would have been aware that my shutter, aperture and iso would not be suitable and have to stop and reset.

I have not experienced this on the 70D.

First, I'm not 100% sure, but I think N (Neutral Style) still uses the auto white balance; it just lowers contrast, saturation, and sharpness. If you shot in "Faithfull," it would lock the white balance to 5200.

Second, did you shoot RAW? If so, you can check the camera's white balance setting.

Third, what software were you using to view the pictures? Apparently, most non-Canon software ignores the "style" settings.

This video explains the style setting (

).

If you want to lock the white balance, why didn't you set it with the gray card and set a manual white balance?

Despite being in Manual mode (for exposure), you have auto white balance. Just moving around a subject can alter the colour balance. If you want a fixed white balance, you need to set one, either one of the choices (sun, cloudy, shade, etc) or set a specific colour temperature in Kelvin.

Your 70D had the same choices of white balance and would have behaved the same way. I had many xxD bodies and they needed manual white balance for multi-image panoramas or to have consistent colour balance across a shoot.

If you shoot RAW instead of jpeg, you can set all the images to the same white balance in post. For the highest accuracy, use a colour swatch such as X-rite, or a grey card.
