... and to hearing what steps you actually use on location to get the WB result you are looking for. *********************************************************** If I plan to use JPEG images for post-production purposes, I carefully CWB the camera (1D in my case). If I plan to use RAW images for post-production purposes, then I rarely bother to CWB the camera. Instead, if at all possible, I shoot a Gretag-MacBeth Color Chart card as a reference, some time during the shooting session. Then later, as part of the RAW-to-TIFF conversion process, I use the second-to-lightest B&W square as a white reference color. Remember, CWBing the camera only affects the JPEGs, not the RAW images. If you shoot JPEG, the camera does the WBing (along with a number of other things) as part of the post-shot processing performed in the camera. If you shoot RAW, you have to do the WBing (along with other things) outside of the camera using your computer and either Canon's or a third-party's s/w.
