White Balance Mode Presets Problem

Hi, I have multiple presets for colour balance in Capture One Pro 22.For example I have two entries for Tungsten, one at1507K and one at 3204K.

I also have duplicates for Dailight, Cloudy and Shade, but only one for Shot and Flash.

Any ideas what the issue might be? I'm processing Leica Q2 DNG raw files, could the presets be part of the metadata perhaps?

Thanks

  I would expect the range of presets to be the same as the range that is available in your camera(s). 

  So for my Nikon D500, I see all of these.

  

  But for the Nikon Z50 I see fewer, like this.

  

  For the Z6ii, I see a slightly different range again.

  

  (Note that Custom will only appear on the list if you have set the WB to something other than a preset, for instance you have pulled the Kelvin slider by hand, or used the Auto tool in Capture One. And Shot just means that the WB is as it came out of camera. So you would certainly not expect to see Shot and Custom more than once. I'm not sure about Flash.)

  None of those three cameras has a Tungsten setting. But another one (D7200) does.

  Is it possible that you have created presets of your own with the same names? Or is it possible that you have more than one profile for the camera?

  And if you set the camera to Tungsten, which of the two Tungsten presets is closer to the out of camera value? (3204 sounds more likely.)
