Classic man!!!!

tanjq87, the Brownie was probably using 127 film (very similiar in form to 120 film). However 127 film doesn't exist anymore as Kodak was the only one who made it in that size. They liked making proprietary film formats.

awb didn't work ma?

tanjq87, the quick and lazy (but time-consuming) way is to shoot RAW and fix WB later.

The more tedious way is to make use of the Auto mode, which resets everything each time you use it.

Flourescent light flickers and so it's better you use a fast shutter speed and rely on the flash to light indoors. If not you get a greenish cast which is not consistent unless the shutter speed is slow enough.

Try 18mm F3.5 ISO3200 with drive mode set to burst mode. Fire away in a flourescent-lit room. See what happens?

Anyway, you can then set your camera to M mode with flash, with the WB set for tungsten light (anywhere between 2500-3200K). Now, turn to Auto. Notice how it changes to AWB? Now, turn to M. Notice how it remembers the WB setting earlier!

So that's one quick way to switch between two "profiles".

Alternatively, you could use a tungsten gel, and shoot in flourescent light at tungsten WB (but at a fast shutter speed and dark aperture to kill the flouro flicker) while using tungsten WB for tungsten light also. This doesn't require any switching modes.

tanjq87: Yes, oversaturation or 'flat colors' are due to wrong white balance. Don't use AWB on tungsten, it's baaad. I'd still suggest Auto with AWB for flourescent and quickly switch to P/A with tungsten WB for tungsten.

Banzai_san: The A300 originally sold for RM2499 retail with single kit lens if I remember correctly.
