If you don't know about this one already, this tweak is worth applying.

MENU > SHOOTING > White Balance > AUTO > right click to AUTO Normal > right click to the rainbow chart > click one down to M1 > OK.

Depending on personal preferences some owners have commented that the camera renders slightly in favor of green in Auto white balance. Cheers, Rob.

If you have a D800 you should try it for yourself as you may be among those who prefer the default setting. Rob.

I'd be glad to set your camera for you, just send it to me and I'll return it right away. Promise......

...you are a genius! winterrose. BUT with the shipping both ways, I should just buy you one oz-style, you can tweak it for me and ship it back

Sounds like a good plan but with the fluctuating dollar I don't know exactly how much they are right now so I think it's best that I get it in Europe. Just send me a blank check and I'll take care of everything.

Drop me another three large and I'll drop in to Nigeria Bank on the way.

I am assuming it adds a drop of magenta to counteract the green.

Exactly right lighthouse, it's a bit like the difference between Fuji and Kodak films, the bias may not be of consequence or concern to some but it's yet another parameter to keep in mind if one gets satisfaction from squeezing the most from this wonderful beastie. Cheers, Rob.
