[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 340089, member: 12496"] OK, but Auto ISO and White Balance are very different things of course. :) Flash color can vary slightly with flash power level (camera flash is slightly more red at full power), but the incandescent orange is much bigger effect, relatively huge. The orange can vary according to how bright the incandescent exposure is. So wide aperture will have a similar effect of seeing the orange better. And of course, indoor lights vary quite a bit in types, they are not all the same (situations vary). But for example, the same picture attempt without the flash will show the effect of the room lights - hopefully near a totally black picture with the flash off, esp if you can keep the same shutter speed, but if incandescents, what you see should be orange (if Flash WB) and should show the point. You could test the color of just the lens with a flash picture in a very dark black room, no room lights to affect anything then. And I doubt you think the lens is orange outdoors in sunshine. EDIT: I realize now that I misspoke, sorry. It is getting a bit confusing. :) The D300 (and older DSLR) do NOT increase Auto ISO at all if flash is used. Not external flash or internal flash. ISO stays at Minimum if flash is used (any flash that the camera can recognize is present). Auto ISO can increase only if the flash power might be insufficient. Starting with the D300S (and newer), these do increase Auto ISO according to the ambient level, regardless if flash is used, either external or internal. Indoor flash is always working into high ISO (you can turn Auto ISO off). A handful of the newest models (D800, D600, and D7100) only increase Auto ISO by two stops (usually to ISO 400, but two stops above Minimum) if an external flash is used. These models can still fully increase Auto ISO to Maximum if the internal flash is used. [/QUOTE]
