Hey Shel.
Just to add my $0.02 here. I normally use on my Nikons the presets,like
sunny,cloudy,shady
etc at the
shows. I will use AWB if i'm in the open as it works well to,but the sensor on
the D2H is
in the front of
the prism. It can be swayed if you are shooting inshade or wearing a ball cap
like i do. I
thought
something was wrong with my camera until one sports shooter mentioned that to
me. Using
AWB on
Nikon,stay out of the shade and turn your hat around.<vbg>
As far as the istD, i have mainly used the AWB feature. I find its pretty good
for what i
have done so
far. Even with flash.
Unfortunatly most of what i shoot are jpgs and if i forget to reset the WB i
can get some
nasty results
that are hard to fix.But i usually chimp now,so only a few are poor.
Hope that helps
