Thanks for the input - I experimented this morning and discovered how right you are. Seems my best bet is to use RAW convertor auto white balance on import to give a better white balance starting point than as shot. Something of a change in my workflow as I have always used as shot as a starting point with all my old Nikon Cameras and with my RX100 iii.

I'm doing that but it does get a bit wearing after the 500th picture

Thanks a lot. I'd missed that possibility entirely - I should read the manual in more fully . I will go away and experiment.

I came upon this thread while investigating my impression that my X-Pro1 gives cold green biased results in Capture One, Lightroom and Fast Raw Viewer when processing RAW files where the camera was set to auto white balance. I take it others have seen this behaviour and it is just not me. At the moment I am working on 600 odd RAW files taken with my X-Pro 1 set to auto white balance and every one has need a positive color temperature and tint correction to achieve correct color balance. I do not see this problem nearly as severely with Nikon NEF and Sony ARW files. Can anyone advise me if there is some way of applying something like a +300K color temperature +10 magenta tint correction to the auto color balance?

Hi Mike, I remember your posts in that forum, glad to be in touch again. Dave

Hello all I'm a (long) retired aerospace engineer who has been taking photographs since the 1950's. I had been a confirmed Nikon user since some time in the late 1960's but in September last year I finally decided that my Nikon outfit was just to heavy to cart around comfortably so I decided to change. Fuji seemed the obvious route and as Fuji were offering a 3 lens deal with what was in effect a free x-pro 1 and a leather never ready case thrown in I took my Nikon outfit to my local camera dealer (Clifton Cameras) and traded it in for the 3 lens deal (18mm, 27mm and 60mm) 2 additional lenses (14mm and 23mm), the x-pro 1 body and the leather case (the leather case went straight into the loft ) and so here I am now a Fuji photographer. Well nearly as I still have 4 very old manual focus Nikon lenses and a D40 with split image rangefinder screen for old times sake and a Sony RX100 iii for when even the Fuji is to heavy and bulky. You can see some of my earlier work at http://www.david-rosser.com and at http://www.davidrosser.uk

As a new X-Pro 1 user I have only taken 1700 odd pictures with it. As the I bought it when Fuji were offering 3 lenses plus an X-Pro 1 for the price of the three lenses (18mm, 27mm and 60mm primes) I tend to use the 18mm most and a 14mm I bought separately second most.
