Re: Custom White Balance

Thanks, I am so delighted as this is my first dSLR and I have always been disappointed that the camera's presets were not good and find I avoid trying to take shots in difficult light conditions. Have been used to setting WB before using the video camera so found it a real pain not to be able to do it with the still. So many thanks it has cheered me up no end.

I'm guilty of not posting (or even uploading from the camera) the results but I did try it out and it worked a treat.

Re: Custom White Balance

Wildwaker, I like the way that you have simply (yet clearly) spelled this out. I never use the CWB because well I never understood it and it seemed quite complicated. I will be posting my CWB images soon. I am even a bit excited to try it. Thank you!
