How do I access the regular Canon presets for White Balance in ML movie mode?
Right now it's great for kelvin, and of course I can just remember that tungsten is 3200, daylight 5600, etc.
But I'd still like to press a button and get them, and also what if I need to do a custom white balance?
This is probably explained already somewhere, but I can't find it.

What camera do you have? On the 60D, 600D and similar you can press the Q button and scroll through the white balance presets. On all models, you can go in Canon's menu to change it too.

 Canon T2i (550D).  No preset WBs when I press Q.  Can change format, file size, picture style, etc.
There's nothing on the Canon menus, except custom WB, as long as I'm in movie mode.
I just wanted to be able to select Tungsten, or Shade, or things like that.
