To set custom white balance I go to Still mode, select wb, scroll down to SET, put the circle on a white or gray card and hit Enter (center button in wheel), it shows what the white balance is on the bottom - assuming the top number is from a previous setting.

 

It then offers where to store it, I select Custom 1 and hit Enter.

 

Whether I stay in Still mode or go to Movie movie the custom wb setting I just saved is not there, it is still on the previous setting.

 

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

      Batises, Batises, and more Batises!

      Sorry, had to catch your attention somehow.  🙂 I've loved Zeiss lenses for a couple decades--have been a fotog since only 2000--and have had many different versions.. Bought an a7R V weeks ago, attached the Batis 18/2.8, added an 85/2.8 plus a Sony 24-70/2.8 GM II and a Tamrom 50-300 4.5-6.3, and thought I was ready.. But then ordered Batises in 25/2 and 40/2 (arriving today), and then ordered a 135/2.8 to arrive ...tomorrow, Thursday?  (How can B&H/FedEx do that--Wed. morn. to Thurs. afternoon--for the few-dollars addon B&H gets for NEXT-day shipping?)  Total gear weight without the Tamron will be just 6.8 pounds/3.7kg and 8.4 pounds/3.8kg. with it.. All this (and other required stuff) fits in my ThinkTank Airport Roller, so I won't have to carry it, which I cannot physically do. Off to two and two-half days in the Palouse Monday the 2nd; we'll see how all those Bs hold up.

      Sony A7IV - White Balance menu

      By Igor_Ri · Posted

      Hello, Would it be possible in a future firmware update for DSLRs to change the order of White Balance options in the menu?   It would be much more practical if the Kelvin (K) setting was listed first, followed by Auto, and then the rest of the predefined options.   When filming, it would allow for a quicker switch from Auto to Kelvin mode and then easily adjust the exact white balance using the DIAL wheel – and quickly return to Auto if needed.   Currently, we need to scroll through several predefined white balance presets to switch between Auto and a custom Kelvin setting, which can be impractical during a shoot.
