What I discovered was that the color balance setting, available on the short "Set" menu, directly affects the DNGs. I always thought that in-camera settings were just supposed to process jpegs, assuming that jpegs out of the camera are requested. The color balance choices are very close to those available on LR3. I had thought that DNGs are as they come out of the sensor, with no fancy processing by the camera. Of course, the physics of it suggests that this color balance control may be similar to setting of ISO, except that different settings are used for R, G, and B. And "settings" could very well be a metaphor for the the voltage applied to the sensor elements. My general question directed to y'all is whether this behavior shows up on RAW files from other mainline cameras, e.g. Nikon, Cannon.
