32bit. geforce4 ti4200. 19" running corrected gamma at 5500k. I'm shocked you guys don't see the illusion that caused me to jump in.

You really seem to want to have a problem with this camera - it's amazing!

If those bricks are not the same color, it's probably because... their BRICKS!!
I have bricks on my house. No two bricks look alike.
They look a lot more different after aging by the beach for 200 years.

Don't take it personally, Hal.
All the good ones get laughed at, for at least once.
Enjoy!

Just trying to make the point that things in nature are not absolutely even and homogeneous. There are variations in tone, brightness and consistency. Blaming these natural variations on the camera makes no sense

Gesh Ulysses, I KNOW that. At first glance it fooled me. Maybe I was LOOKING FOR THAT PROBLEM. I now realize the bricks on one side are just more weathered then the other (wet/sand blown). I think everyone following this thread has figured that out by now.

And the differences can be impossible to first catch. I just went out and tested mine. I went to what appeared to be an evenly painted garage door with full light. I took one shot with the camera right side up, the other with it upside down. Came in and the first right side up shot really showed a red hue on the left side! Whelp, compared it to the upside down shot and the hue WAS STILL ON THE LEFT Funny because you certainly couldn't tell looking at it. I guess the WB was just a little off because the sun was just a little more on the other side and the camera was probably straining to get the EV right (I didn't bother to cutome WB).

We are not picking on you Hal, just trying head off at the pass discussing for the next two months why the F717 has this weird sky thing problem. As you have noted, it was a misunderstanding.

One day you're going to come back and revisit this thread, and you might find it as belly shakingly humorous as the rest of us who saw from the beginning that there wasn't a problem here.
Ease up. Don't take it so seriously. Be happy that there is no problem.

Hey, no, I AM HAPPY
I might as well ask this here while I have your ear. I have been setting custom WB with whatever is emmiting the light (even on blinds or open windows, lamp shades, parking lot lights). This is working beautifully for my images. Is this an acceptable way or is there drawbacks I haven't noticed yet

Hmmm... good question. I think someone else mentioned this method earlier today (might have been you).
It can work well. But sometimes, because of reflectivity of things nearby, it may not work as accurately as you'd like.
I tend to just follow the directions as far as trying to FILL the viewfinder with either a white card or gray card in the lit environment that I find myself. This is the most accurate way to do the calibration routine.
But your method is one that several of us have used as a backup method in case we forget our calibration cards or don't have anything white nearby.
If it's working for you, then GO FOR IT. If you find that it's problematic in certain situations, though, the reason is probably because it was unable to sample correctly.
Hope this helps.

Jerry: So the topic was about an issue that turned out not being an issue?
George: I have issues with people who have issues over nothing and I want to get to the bottom of it!
Jerry: Oh, I think you've been to the bottom.

Of course, that isn't a problem with the camera. ;-)
