Wht Richard and Pat said is right on the money.I alway try to wb my xl2
if I hve time. But sometimes (like weddings) everything is happening so
quickly that I don't have a chance.
I find that auto wb works pretty well out doors, and when there is
sufficient light. In doors (or out) at night, in a low light situation,
I sometimes use my Frezzi on cam light.This is when you REALLY need wb,
because auto or one of the two Canon settings don't cut it.
But like Pat said, you'd be better off getting someone who has done
some shooting, and is familiar with the xl2.
The XL2 is great camera, epecially when you start tweaking the
presets. The looks you can get are limitless.
