Hi C.H. and Philippe,
Thanks for your aswers!
It looks like when shooting in JPEG WB balance setting is required for
each situation then... All clear.
One thing I'm wondering about, however, is the RAW format. I had never
looked into it and thought it would be just a lossless format, such as
TIFF, however, the remarks from the both of you suggest there are more
advantages, like not having to set the WB???
Can you (or anyone else) give a quick run-down on the format and its
advantages? I'm getting curious to this...:)
Thx and cheers!
Olafo
