Steve,
Are you shooting in RAW and processing your files or trying to achieve a jpeg white balance? I am curious since it is so easy to adjust WB in post with RAW files.
FWIW, . In the case of a jpeg, it is burnt in. WB has no effect on a RAW file, it is an applied setting in the exif data after the image is taken and read by exif aware photo editors after the fact.
Regards,
David
