White Balance when outdoors If I am shooting outdoors, but using a fill flash which white balance setting should I use? Flash? Sun? Or cloudy( if it's cloudy.) Thank you!

I was told by a Nikon rep to ALWAYS use the cloudy setting outdoors for a better white balance, even when using fill flash. I haven't tried that yet, since I've been doing mostly studio work lately, but that's what he said! I'd try to take mutiple frames of the same image, but change your white balance for each frame. See what you like best!

Just set it on auto, the awb is pretty sofisticated, so you shouldn't have any problems. I usually only have problems with AWB if I am using tungsten lighting, the photos turn out really yellow, in which case you need to use the tungsten setting. White balance usually doesn't matter to much anyway when you are using flash - it sort of cancels the need to use it.

I haven't had much success with the awb. :( It could have to do with the fact that I'm really picky! :)

If you are shooting RAW, set it to AWB, and then you can adjust it later during processing. RAW only saves the camera settings, and does not permenently alter the photo until it is processed into a tiff, jpeg, etc...
