white balance

Howdy all. If I can ask a quick question. What white balance setting is best for widefield shooting. I see some say daylight and others various other settings. Does it make a difference whether jpeg or raw? Thanks.

Your white balance setting only affects your jpgs, not Raws.
Raws can be set to whatever WB you prefer in pre processing.
I shoot with both Raw and jpg capture enabled and just set the WB to daylight for the jpgs, but I never use the jpgs for processing, only the Raw images.
