I find this pretty annoying as well -- it seems to have issues if it's
too dark, which doesn't really make sense to me; why doesn't it just
take a longer exposure? My Coolpix will take correctly white-balanced
photos in very very dark situations (though even that has a limit);
sure, I have to point it at a white object for a long time before it
gets itself calibrated (see
http://www.danielmitchell.net/gal/nikon/night_vision), but that's fair
enough; the E-1 seems to give up a lot sooner.
