If you're not using a flash, then that's not the problem with your WB. That was my first thought (some users assume that a custom WB will be accurate when using a flash, when the temperature of the light from a flash may be very different than the temperture of the lighting they used for setting the WB). So, I don't know why you'd have that much difference in color accuracy, unless the camera is not using your custom WB settings for some reason (my suspicion from comparing the samples), or you are doing something wrong using this feature. |

Well I do not see the exif in the raw file either. Could it be the way I am transferring them to my comp? I put the media in my printer it has a built-in reader. I then go to my computer and select the drive which is F on my machine. I then drag and drop to my desktop.

The EXIF should be there.
One tool for viewing it is Irfanview (mentioned in my previous post as a good choice for downsizing the images without stripping it out). You can see the EXIF using Image, Information, EXIF with it. Another way to see EXIF is to "right click" on a file in Windows Explorer, and select Property, Summary, Advanced. But, it doesn't show you WB settings. Yet another way to view EXIF is using IExif from Opanda. When you right click on an image in Windows Explorer, you'll see a new choice for viewing EXIF after you install it. It also works with Internet Explorer. After loading it, you can also install a plugin for Firefox so that you can see EXIF in images using Firefox without downloading them. I use it often for looking a camera settings from posted images to check for any obvious problems. http://www.opanda.com/en/iexif/index.html |

Ah! Thanks very much! I used the Windows explorer technique. Here is the information for the three different photos: Nikon Focal length: 12mm F-Number F/4.1 Exposure time 1/37 sec. ISO Speed: ISO-100 Metering Mode: Pattern Light Source: Unkown Exposure compensation: -0.3 step Sony Auto Setting Focal length: 14mm F-Number F/7.1 Exposure time 1/15 sec. ISO Speed: ISO-64 Metering Mode: Spot Light Source: Blank Exposure compensation:0 step Sony Manual Settings Focal length: 20mm F-Number F/5 Exposure time 1/50 sec. ISO Speed: ISO-64 Metering Mode: Spot Light Source: Blank Exposure compensation:0 step |

As I mentioned, Windows Explorer doesn't give you White Balance info. ;-)
So, you can't tell whether or not the camera was using your custom WB. With the other products I mentioned like Opanda, you can see this info. Note the White Balance field on this screen print from an H1's EXIF. |

P.S.
The EXIF you posted does tell me why the last photo was underexposed though (you were using manual exposure and your settings caused it to be too dark). I also see that you're using spot metering (which is OK, as long as you're careful what you meter from). I can't see what the camera's settings for WB were though (and I've got a suspicion that it's not using your custom setting). I'd make sure to read the user guide carefully to make sure it's using it. But, let's check the EXIF to find out. You can either post an image that includes it so we can check it, or check it using a better tool compared to Windows Explorer. |

Ah okay I see! Thanks for clearing that up for me.
Well your not going to believe this, but there isnt even a white balance category being displayed for the sony mysettings photo. However the nikon and the sony auto have white balance read outs. So what does that tell you? I thought I read the manual carefully, but apparantly I will have to reread it and make sure Im doing the white balance measurement correctly. Again thanks for your help! |
