My Canon 600d, the color temperature is set to daylight mode, why is the photo still yellow and warm? What's the problem? How to set the color temperature manually?

Don't be misled by some people who don't understand. Any digital SLR camera has a manual white balance function! In fact, even the top digital camera, its automatic white balance function can not show the accurate color temperature of the shooting environment under any circumstances, which is more or less different from the actual environment, so digital cameras, especially professional digital cameras, will have the function of manually setting the white balance.

The method of setting manual white balance for Canon SLR is very simple, that is, set the camera to the appropriate gear, take a gray card or something similar to it, and then enter the menu to set this picture as manual white balance. The specific steps are on the white balance page of the camera manual, provided that you first find a gray card (an ordinary gray card is about tens of dollars).

After setting the manual white balance, remember to set the white balance of the camera to "user-defined" when taking pictures, so that it will work. Manual white balance can always be used under the same lighting conditions, unless the light changes, such as sunny to cloudy, afternoon to dusk, or the white balance needs to be reset.

RAW format can be used, but it is not suitable for everyone. You can try RAW by taking 5 pictures a day. If you want to take 500 photos a day, will you still insist on RAW? It's really good to adjust the white balance in the later stage of RAW, but the problem is that when you sit in front of the computer and mix colors, the environment in which you take pictures is different. White balance can only be adjusted by feeling, which is inaccurate or does not conform to the color temperature environment at that time, who knows.

I haven't used the function of white balance envelope, and many professional photographers don't use it either, because they believe in the accuracy of setting white balance manually and don't want to waste time picking out one of three different cold and warm photos on the computer in the future.
