To the extent I have a photo ideology, it’s “make the picture look like what I saw” and the Fuji does an amazingly good job of that out of the box, whereas with my Pentaxes up through the K-5, I often have had to tweak the WB to achieve it. Pretty well the only time I touch it with the Fuji is with weird indoor light that’s hideously yellow or blue or whatever.
