Samsung NX10: White-balance

I usually leave the camera set to auto white-balance, trying the presets just to see how they performed for the test.

From sunshine, to shooting in a shady wood and to the strange artificial lights of a fairground, I had no serious concerns with the camera's performance in different lighting situations. The images in full sunlight with AWB were very slightly cool but not in an unacceptable way. I found the same with images shots with studio flash – this was using the flash preset without any custom white-balance.

In shade or under cloud cover AWB did really well and images did not need any warming up. AWB did less well in incandescent lighting and images still had a strong orange colour cast. Selecting a preset resolved this, as did doing a custom white-balance.

All round, the NX10 gave a solid performance and there was nothing to be concerned about.
