Shooting manual doesn't mean anything with respect to WB. Or maybe I
misunderstand what you mean. Did
you adjust the WB by hand using a card?
No, I simply used the preset 5300K setting. You can change the colour
temperature to compensate for excess yellow (setting sun) or excess blue (clear
daytime sky) internally, similar to using 81 (warming) and 82 (cooling) glass
filters. I've used both but I prefer the glass as my judgement is oriented in
that direction.
Anyway, a color filter on a color sensor will be a challenge for the in-board
and the post-processing
software even when shot in raw.
OTT What on earth is an internal red filter if I may ask ??? Is it physical
filtering? Red glass between
the sensor and the lens?? We had one of these E510s (stolen) and I never saw
anything like this on it.
No, it's a software process between the sensor image and the memory.
Something in that process is not working as it should.
Well I think it all boils down to : What do you actually want to achieve?
I want to be able to use the internal emulated colour filters with the
same ease and judgement as I've used glass ones with film in the past.
