You can correct the white balance that is set. This adjustment will have
the same effect as using a commercially-available color temperature
conversion filter or color compensating filter. Each color can be
corrected to one of nine levels.
This function is for advanced users, particularly for those users who
understand the use of color temperature conversion and color
compensating filters and their effects.

You can set the camera to display <z> in the viewfinder and on the
LCD panel for when white balance correction has been set (p.489).
One level of the blue/amber correction is equivalent to approx. 5 mireds
of a color temperature conversion filter. (Mired: Unit of measure for color
temperature used to indicate values such as the density of a color
temperature conversion filter.)
