[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 272605, member: 9240"] I use Auto White Balance as well, but there are situations that can definitely confuse the camera and require sometimes radical adjustments in post. The downside to auto is that in some situations you can get radically different looks in the same place when there's a mix of sun and shade, or natural and artificial light. This can be maddening when you want to have a uniform look across a group of shots. Setting it with a grey card, will help you here, though it will require that you reset as you move from one area to the other. I have a brother who shoots Canon too, and his WB is almost always spot on, but I attribute that to his 30 years of experience far more than the equipment. Awareness of your lighting is one of those things you develop as a photographer (I'm still working on it), and until then and likely after you can just be thankful for ACR. [/QUOTE]
