But as soon as you know how your camera is working, you should start taking control of the settings one by one. It amazes me how many experienced photographers still prefer using the auto setting for this one. I agree it can be useful in some cases, but quite often you’ll just end up having to work extra when you start editing the images.<\/p>\n

Some people justify using the AWB by not having time to adjust it themselves in between different situations.<\/h3>\n

I don\u2019t buy it \u2013 you could at least use the white balance pre-settings every digital camera has. But here are 2 ways of getting it perfectly correct without a hassle. Besides, setting the correct white balance by using a grey card is a piece of cake.<\/p>\n

All you need to remember is to change it every time your location and\/or lighting situation changes. If you feel like you don\u2019t want to adjust white balance on set, you can just as easily do it afterwards \u2013 check out this video by Phil Steele for detailed instructions.<\/p>\n
