While shooting an argentine tango performance over the weekend
I set the WB of my K-7 to "Tungsten light".
I was surprised to see that while ~80% of shots were with about the
right
color, some considerable number of shots had a distinctive.
It was not as red as it would have been if I left the WB to be on
Auto,
but still yellow.

All the shots were taken under the same condition: in the same room,
from the same point, with no light changing, just the couple moving.
More over,- some series of shots were made with the the couple in
place ,- and some have the WB alright, and some - are yellow.

Has anybody experienced anything of this sort?
What could be the reason (besides some malfunction of the camera)?

Is [11. WB Adjustable Range] in the [C Custom Setting 2] menu set to [Fixed]?

If not, that could explain that behaviour. Don't ask me why one should select a given white balance and then allow the camera to change it, but Pentax thinks of it as a good idea!
