Before it got cold and snowed here, i played with the manual WB on green grass for IR balances. I noticed ,and again it could be me not doing right, that after shooting the grass with R72 filter on, (15 sec exposure to get s good reading) it gave me a test shot. I click on the, use whole fram for balance, and hit ok. When i did that, the next screen went to proper colour for the scene and gave me a yellow/brown cast instead of magenta that i got on my istD.
I intend to experiment when the snow goes away, but does this sound normal for the manual wb.
