I'm not an AWB fan, about the only time i use it is when I hand the camera over 
to someone who will likely be shooting flash on and off in mixed lighting, I've 
found the results far too unpredictable for my tastes. The *ist D has only 
conditional WB pre-sets not adjustable CT however the pre-sets aren't as simple 
as just a CT adjustment they each represent a CT and tint offset.
