Hi just wanted to know what's the commonly used white balance settings?:)

:Grin: auto.

seriously, if your cam has a good white balance algorithm, leave it at auto. and if you shoot RAW, you can change white balance during conversion naman.

when i was still using a point-and-shoot, i tend to use "cloudy" a lot. it makes the photo warm and saturated to my taste.

dSLRs now tend to have excellent white balance software that its almost always safe to leave it at auto for usual shooting conditions. things become different when you are shooting under artificial light (tungsten) indoors or when there's mixed light coming from everywhere....

I normally use the Kelvin-WB setting... far-more accurate than auto-WB. Of course, this is easily done with the help of the Minolta Color Meter-IIIF, a perfect tool for capturing accurate and consistent colors, also functions as a light meter (ambient and flash)... buy one while you can!

using auto and have not complaines so far

depends on what im shooting.

but if i think the scene has tricky lighting, i either - shoot using WB bracket or just shoot RAW:) .

i normally shoot on auto wb and if its outdoor always put it on cloudy for that warmer tone...

For indoors I shoot using custom WB with whibal cards. For outdoor, auto is usually my preference.

Jake... RAW & AWB. :)

I normally shoot in RAW. This allows me to fine tune my WB settings later during post processing. I am grateful that Adobe PS CS 2 has incorporated Image Processor in its automated features. It was available before as a script for PS CS that you had to download from Russel Brown's site. It makes processing multiple images so much faster and efficient in PS.

I am also experimenting with using Warm Cards for some portrait shoots. I've already begun incorporating it in my workflow.

Hi jo,

I also shifted to raw when i got my d200...it gives you total control over the wb settings...thanks for sharing the info :)

Weird kasi eh. Studio clients normally prefer that the skin tone have a bit of warm cast. If that's what they want, then that's what they get :D

I also like the fact that there is a 18% gray card included in the Warm Card set. :D
