Hi. I'm just looking for other people who have this issue. On my refurbished T4i, which I've just begun using, whenever I open the SD card compartment, the white balance resets to the dreaded AWB setting. It's like clockwork. A Canon rep told me that they could not reproduce this result on their end and suggest I send it in for service. But this just doesn't FEEL like a service issue to me.
Does anyone else have this issue? I've tried different cards. Same result. Jumps right back to AWB and I need to set it back to whatever I had. It can really screw up a shoot if I don't remember to constantly check my white balance setting.
Is this happening to you? Is there a fix? Please let me know. Thanks!

P.S. Firmware is 1.0.4.

Well maybe! I do think some people mistakening refer to it as Program but in reality it is for Professional. And I am sticking with that.
On Page 162 of the latest edition (IM3) of the 5D Mark III Instruction Manual, in a section headed "P: Program AE", we find:
"*<P> stands for Program."

An obivious misprint, I imagine.

You can just search for "Ken Rockwell" and have a laugh.

To get the "in" jokes, I guess you have to read Rockwell's stuff more often than I do.
