Camera setting, white balance setting?

I’ve made this more detailed to break out ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed

@HTMLSpinnr

In the end, it really doesn’t matter as RAW photography is a sensor dump, and the white balance setting is stored in EXIF and only affects the RAW image preview and the default conversion in your raw processor

Yes! I’ve added that white balance at the stage of capture doesn’t really matter.
