Why is a professional (you) shooting auto white-balance???
This was mystifying me, too.
When using flash, I don't. But most of the time I do and just correct
"as necessary" in Lightroom.
That makes little sense to me.
However, unlike the Olympus cameras, the AWB of the 6D is half a circle away
from Dante.
The E-1 has a separate ambient light WB sensor, and so an advantage over just
about anything else.
AWB has always seemed to me to be like sending a blind man out to see what the phase the moon is in. Sure, the cameras
are pretty smart these days, and undoubtedly many have a database of common lighting situations. But lets face it, when
the lighting is mixed/weird, how can they even do as good a job as they seem to?
You really need a WhiBal credit card size, for correction in post and/or an
ExpoDisk, or eq. for setting a custom WB.
You may think your eye is good, making adjustments later with no reference; maybe you are that good. I know that I'm
often surprised by what the WhiBal reveals.
