Thanks Bill. It's interesting to see what others do. I guess my main problem
is that I often shoot jpeg images in fast moving action situations, and
often the light is changeable as well. There's no real time for a careful WB
setup each time the light changes and too many images to shoot them all raw.
At the same time the results I'm getting using AWB for editorial work are
good anyway. It's the same problem as trying to set exposure manually and I
sometimes have to go back to Tv or Av mode so I can concentrate on composing
the shots I need.
