Default Colours: White Balance and Vivid/Chrome Colours

Do you usually shoot in Auto white balance, change settings or self configure?

Do you often use vivid/chrome colour rather than use the standard colour?

Do you normally shoot in sharp or standard image?

all the question is depending on each individual...

you like auto wb, then use auto wb, some love custom wb, so they set on each location they shoot.

some like more punchy colors, some like natural... also to their preference...

then some like soft image, some like sharp... its how you like... dun let majority influence your decision...

Agreed~ Colour is usually more of a personal preference~ Some may like it warm but some like it cool~

But to ur qn... Usually, i shoot AWB as i find the colours to my liking usually... If not, i will change the WB during PP as i shoot RAW...

Auto WB unless I'm indoors. Shoot in RAW, then you can shoot whatever you want and adjust accordingly when you get home, based on what you see on your computer screen.

If i do a custom white balance using a white card indoors (incandescent lighting)

Then take pics with flash. Will the flash mess up the WB?
