Originally posted by waterfall This is a news flash to me! Can you tell me if there are scenes where Multi AWB produces worse results than AWB? Your street scene is a telling success for the Multi setting. Why would a JPEG shooter ever NOT use Multi AWB. The Bourque and factory instruction books are of no help to me in answering this question, by the way.
Since I've had the K-3, I have only ever used multi-AWB except in the studio where I use Flash (and I use the custom setting that changes the WB to flash when using an external flash, too). I have almost never had to adjust colours in post processing. for me multi-AWB is one of the best sleeper features of the K-3.
Originally posted by mattb123 The tree looks good but everything else is too red to my eyes with those sodium lights.
This shot looks to me like AWB was set for the tree and the rest of the scene could have used a cooler setting.
It looks exactly the way it was. A cooler setting would not have been as accurate, and there is no way a single WB setting could have preserved the whiteness of the LEDs in the tree with that scene.
Originally posted by mattb123 I'm curious how this was shot and processed if you don't mind sharing. It's a nice shot but to me shows more the problem of multiple light sources being different temps rather than the camera overcoming those challenges.
It was not processed, that's a JPEG STOC
I deduce from what you write (I could be wrong) that you and I see white balance differently. Some people want images all to look uniform, "neutral". I'd rather it looked mostly like what I was seeing, which is exactly the case here.

It says "auto" when viewed in Lightroom and the same applies when transferred to Smugmug.
