I have been leaving them on the defaults since I'm shooting RAW. All of those things can be changed later easily and with no downsides by using RAW. > Also how many are setting custom white balance and not using the > presets? What's your process when you set the white balance? I use custom white balance sometimes when I'm shooting inside and won't be using raw. I set it off of a white wall (I don't normally carry a grey card around). When I'm using RAW I leave it on auto white balance since this can easily be changed later. If you can afford the storage costs RAW is really the way to go. alex
