White balance presets darktable gets a library of white balance presets from the UFRaw project. This means you can select camera white balance presets in darktable's user interface. Having white balance presets for your camera is a convenience, it's not critical. But if they are missing, you can contribute them: Upgrade the camera firmware (use a full, known reliable battery), be aware that it can brick your camera if done improperly. (having the latest firmware is preferable, but not critical, if you are uncomfortable with the risks involved in upgrading your camera you should not attempt it) Shoot a single RAW file for each of the camera's white balance presets (make sure you don't have any white balance finetuning enabled) (image content doesn't matter) (these are usually 5-10 shots). Some cameras optionally offer the ability to tune their white balance presets. You can include these as well (but the numbers of shots increase rapidly, as there are typically 5-10 base presets, offering as much as 19 steps of finetuning per preset). For the time being you need to shoot either all or none of the finetuning steps as darktable hasn't implemented finetuning interpolation yet. If you do, use only the blue-amber axis, leave the green-purple axis centered (0). When contributing your white balance presets please do include your camera's firmware version (for future reference).
