Usually you can select "tungsten" for incandescent lights, "daylight" for daylight color lights, of "fluorescent" to correspond with your bulbs, and that will get you pretty close. Or you can set an actual color temperature (e.g. 3000 Kelvin) if you know that. Best option you can set a Custom White Balance by shooting an image of a white piece of paper under your lights, and then the camera can figure out what you mean by "white" from that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would definitely recommend at least setting on of the presets to correspond with whatever bulb you're using.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit: Dave, you must type really fast![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
