Very good point! I have often had to force the camera to a specific white
point when the auto mode gets over enthused with correction.

But remember not to white balance your photo into oblivion. Shooting the
sunset and balancing with your WhiBal or shooting JPEG in auto white balance
mode may turn your shot back into mid-day light with an oddly low sun angle.
:-) When shooting JPEG remember that we didn't change the color temperature
of our films at 5:00 pm. The eyes and brain still count sometimes.
