White balance and ambient

[George_Lund]

If your in a church with their lights on, probably a tungston type, and daylight also comming in thru the windows, what would you set your wb at excluding a custom with a grey card, tungston? Auto maybe? Thanks.

If your not using an on-camera strobe....i'd try and do a custom WB. If your using a Fuji S(?) just set it to auto WB. The auto WB from the fuji S2/3 rocks. If your shooting Canon...do a custom WB or shoot raw.

For ambient light shots in this situation, I would definitely do a pre-set (custom) WB. I would also shoot an extra shot with a digital graycard in it. When processing later I'd click balance on this. If you custom WB was accurate..click balancing should hardly change the shot at all.

Auto WB works amazingly well with the little Canon 20D. I dont know how good the Fuji S3's WB is, but if its anything like S2's AF, viewfinder, and ergonomics, I will have to say no thanks.


Cheers
