- You must manually white balance indoors. Also, you must FOCUS on what you are white balancing. Otherwise, you point the camera at the wall and hold down the shutter button and go, why isn't it saying, 'ok' !?!? That's somewhat irritating. However, after manually white balancing, everything is peachy.
Yeah, it sure would be nice if the firmware would automatically switch to manual focus when clicking to set the white balance.
