Don't you measure the light through >the lens and sensor for white balance correction? Exposure should be measured as in all dSLR's or the M6/7 - via a cell in front of the shutter. White balance, in all dSLR's is measured using several rows of cells that form a border around the "useable pixels". These are measured, during processing, before storage, and the results are applied to the "usable pixels" or photograph. Thus, no white balance work is done prior to the shutter opening. This will likely be the same method used in the M8d. --- David Young, Logan Lake, CANADA Wildlife Photographs: http://www.telyt.com/ Personal Web-pages: http://www3.telus.net/~telyt
