Default WB in S5 pro

HI guys just want to ask about the WB in the S5. I got no problem getting the WB in daytime when shooting portrait or landscape. I usually use the film simulation F1 or F2 in FLUORSCENT 1 OR 2. The result is very good. But when came to indoor shot i cant seem to get the WB i want. Its either too yellowish or too bluish.
Anyone got anythin too share? AWB it seem to be very close to what i want but still abit blueish. Or must use a grey card? Help...

Where got $300???? Only $250 what!

Or else, you could use a Pringles lid. About $2.50 only at 7-Eleven (can buy 100 cans with $250)..... What's more you can still snack while shooting.

After you have finished, you can use the can to make a pinhole camera, or to store your zoom lens.

well its not 100% accurate and certainly not foolproof. at least its more accurate that a lot of other dslrs.

i find it works great if you have a mix of lighting - tungsten, halogen, fluorescent. but if there is only 1 type of lighting then the wb meter gets fooled.

Leica M-series lenses will fit into a Pringles can. I tried it before, so confirmed will fit.
