[QUOTE="T-Man, post: 474938, member: 22038"] Good deal. I left my camera set in AWB until I attended a seminar on portrait photography and lighting last month and learned about the ExpoDisk. The instructor demonstrated how AWB frequently doesn't work right when taking photos in mixed lighting. In every scenario, the instructor proved to us that the ExpoDisk produces more accurate WB a higher % of the time than your camera's AWB. I think you'll like it. If you have any questions on how to use it, don't hesitate to ask. Once you start using it, I predict you will never go back to using AWB or any othr WB modes on your camera, unless you want to intentionally skew WB to get some color cast for creative effect. AWB often gets WB wrong, especially on skin tones inside buildings with multiple light sources (such as inside a church) having different Kelvin temps.
