A7R II - Custom White Balance in M1 or M2!

[Ammar]

As I was preparing my cam for a coming dive trip, I wanted to shoot video this time with custom white balance, so I assigned M2 for underwater video, but I realized that I can't assign a custom white balance in memory recall modes?!

Why is that Sony? This does not make any sense!

The whole idea of a custom setting is to have a custom setting! 

Underwater, we need to set a new custom white balance every 3-5 meters depth. In addition, the idea of having M1 and M2, is to save presets for different shooting conditions. So, while M1 is set for UW photography for example, M2 is for UW video. The first, can be shot with AWB, but the latter needs custom WB if strobes are not used. 

Please have this issue updated in a firmware, and hopefully also giving us option to assign (Set White Balance) to a custom bottom as well, instead of assigning the whole WB menu!

Make our life easy please!

Agree, that is very frustrating. It is not that diffcitult to implement. Sony, any ideas when it will be done?

I am checking out my A7RII and it appears to have slots for the White Balance to be changed so I do not know what they are talking about?
