Long time no post here :)

I'm going now for a flowers photo session next to Megido(Armageddon) here in Israel, and playing with the camera, I re-discovered that Auto WB can be also configured :)

The possible values are: A6, A5, A4, A3, A2, A1, 0(Default value), b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6.

What are the meaning of these preset values?

I can't RTFM because I do not have the D7000 manual next to me (later at night I will take a look on the manual).

I guess that the Auto WB tuning is similar than the one on the D7Ts (D70s), that you could add or remove small steps to the Auto WB.

Do you use fine tuning on the Auto WB settings?

Have a nice day to all.

A = Amber
B = Blue

Each step is ~5 mired.

I think @jforham is right, but whatever it does in camera, this is yet another reason for using RAW, as no matter if a shot or even a series is a little bit out, its really easy (should be the first step IMO) to correct in post before you do any editing, cropping, effects and final conversion into JPG for use...

By the way, a 'mired' is a unit of measurement: "MIcro REeciprocal Degree"... just thought and I also don't have a manual to hand (who does at 6:45am), but I just can't get it out of my mind that the amount of change is actually a decamirad (ten mirads)?

[That's what comes from being a nerd, in that you know these useless things - and are prepared to get it wrong in public too] HAHAHAHA...

I actually found the manual online at Nikon. I also have all the manuals d/l to my Mac in PDF from Nikon. I have never once opened the paper manual of a camera.

Heck, even my Dad's Kodak Retina IIIc has a manual. Thing is so tiny I just downloaded a copy from the Intertubes.

Later,
Jeff
