If you want to show bad WB on a pentax, just shoot ambient light with incandescents and AWB. Ugh.
As to the D200, it's got a WB button on the left top side (where the mode dial is on a pentax). That allows you to set AWB, preset WB, colour temp or manual WB. Not quite as convenient as the Fn menu, but pretty good. If you want bad interfaces, try a D40 or a Rebel XT/XTi. -Adam William Robb wrote: > I was trying to give studio boy a lesson in white balancing today. > A bit of background, it seems the people he hangs with (present company > excepted) don't know squat about white balance. > I had my K10 there, so, using a light setup that had caused me to have > kittens while printing his D200 files, I took some JPG test shots, using > AWB, Flash (his favourite) and Manual white balances. > Interestingly, the Pentax's AWB was just about bang on, the flash was very > close, and the manual WB was just a bit farther off. > I decided that the Pentax was not a good tool for showing him bad white > balancing, so I went to the offending Nikon. > What a pile of unmitigated crap.
