There is one type of lighting where I found it useful to set the WB manually, while shooting RAW.
While shooting in low ncandescent light, if I use the auto white balance, the images turn to be way underexposed when the balance is corrected. (this is on *istDS) It may be possible to do exposure compensation instead, but I haven't tried this yet.

I never manually set a white balance in the camera, it's a waste of time unless you're using JPEG capture, and I only use RAW capture. If I need to calibrate a camera for accuracy, a gray card isn't going to be much use... -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
