[QUOTE="nickt, post: 260730, member: 4923"] I leave white balance on auto for the most part. It will affect the jpg and your photo as it is viewed in camera. ViewNX will show your raw with white balance applied too. Lightroom and others will not show it. In any case you are free to adjust white balance on the raw file. No permanent changes to it with white balance. Lots of talk about active d lighting. I think the final word is some levels will affect the initial exposure, so best to leave it off for raw. The metering is tough. Matrix is really good. This is where you could experiment with meter modes, bracketing or +/- exposure comp. What I do, is I have programed my function and preview buttons for spot and center weighted metering. So I leave camera on matrix and if I quickly want to meter differently , its an easy hold of a button. And no problems forgetting and leaving the camera in spot or center metering. The blurred background, low aperture of course, but it will also depend on the lens and distances. If you are panning that can add some background motion blur. [/QUOTE]
