[QUOTE="Stoshowicz, post: 613922, member: 31397"] I'm with you on auto white balance , FACT, ,,the camera is guessing. Shooting Raw , use daylight only ,and you can pick what else you might like later, I personally , would rather see what the light actually [I]was [/I]and make fixes if need be,, rather than introduce an artificial white balance guess First , and then have to fix [I]tha[/I]t. If you chimp your photos on scene by looking at the jpeg , you can easily overlook actual real time over-saturation or the skewed real time lighting of particular colors , (because the camera is hiding that from you till you get home) . My gear doesnt seem to let me change the white balance of the jpeg , its locked in , I can change it on the RAW but the raw is not a presentation which matches human eyes, so if you take a pic of something that has a particular hue or shade of color, like a bird or your wifes eyes , when you get home , your jpeg has skewed color , And the raw doesnt match it automatically! you have to Imagine what the color [I]once was,[/I] bad plan. I suppose one could recreate a jpeg with daylight white balance from the raw file , but why not just have that from the start? [/QUOTE]
