I am evaluating Capture One (current trial version on Windows) and ran into a White Balance issue I was hoping someone has seen before.
I tether my Canon 5D3 to my laptop running Capture One and take a photo in Raw. The WB in my camera is set to 5600K. (I'm shooting strobes.)
The metadata for the photo taken in Capture One says it was shot at 5600K. (All good.)
But the photo Kelvin White Balance Setting (Shot) says 5306. The photo looks right at 5600K.
I've tried setting the base characteristics to Adobe RBG (same as the camera) but it didn't make a difference. I've searched the forums and no-one seems to mention it. I tried other K settings, and the same thing - meta data is correct but the WB setting is off.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Hi - I tried that. No luck.
Thanks...

Capture One recognizes my Df and sets the profile "Nikon Df Generic ". I keep the camera set to Daylight. Both 'Shot' or 'Sunny' in CO give me 5227K, 0 tint (at least in the last session I shot) so at least CO and the Df seem to be coordinated in the WB setting.
I always have my other cameras (D610 and A7 II) set to Daylight but I noticed that 'Shot' and 'Sunny' don't agree.
The WB settings are just a starting point for raw. I often have fiddle with the color to even when shooting in broad daylight because of the light other than sunlight that is striking the subject. Since you are shooting raw with strobes you might be adjusting the color later yourself as well.
Ultimately it's only the WB setting that you deliberately set in CO that matter.
