| [* icon_caution] ***Early entry-level Sony Alpha cameras (a5X00) are primarily SW-driven. Advanced cameras (a6X00 and full-frame) are hardware-controlled. This is the only difference between body "types"; everything else is the same.*** | |

| [* red] Switch the camera into a Manual mode (P/A/S/M; doesn't matter). ***You MUST be in a "manual" mode to use custom WB settings.*** | |
| [* orange] Open the menu and select the following: ***Camera settings>White Balance.*** | |
| [* orange] ***NOTE: The location of the white balance setting varies from camera to camera. Keep this in mind if you do not see the setting as shown in my demo a6000.*** (Ex: a6000 is Line 4, a6100 is under Line 9 and a6300 is under Line 5. | |
| [* icon_note] ***In addition to menu deviation, Sony also has removed the option to use a photo to set a custom WB; you must dial in the color temperature of your studio lighting.*** | |
| [* green] Select the ***White Balance*** option, and scroll down until you see ***Custom Setup***. Take a picture of your lighting setup and press the ***Enter*** button to save it to the camera. |
