How to set you White Balance (Canon 5D)

this is a quick and dirty (not dirty in that way!) video on how to set your custom white balance -- in this case on a canon 5d mark II. i keep forgetting how to do this, so this video is mostly for me (don't tell me now how i need a manicure, and i should really do a better job on my focus or language). ;) -- where are all the other how-to videos on the mark II?

Finally ! This is the instruction I have been searching for. It is so simple to set a custom white balance, but trying to find it in the instruction manual was like the proverbial "needle in a haystack".

The majority of the blogs I read simply said to adjust the color temperature with AWB Shift. I knew that there had to be a better way to take an overall reading of the scene and do one simple adjustment. Thank you.
