Have you noticed when using white balance in auto mode that there is a reduction in color highlights?

Kelly's correct, but you shouldn't shoot auto ISO unless you're shooting RAW files.....;)

Why so serious?

Auto ISO or auto mode? The question is unclear.

Good point and this is what I get shooting a camera that has NO "auto" mode as it never occurred to me the OP meant anything other than ISO.......:unsure:

What file format are you shooting in is my question? If it is RAW only then it needs to be processed, if it is in RAW + Jpeg then have you adjusted the saturation in your cameras controls? RAW images always look drab until you tweak them. I do not use Auto WB as a rule. My WB stays in sunny most of the time unless I am shooting in different lighting, and then I set it to the lighting. Since for now I am living at near Sea Level the standard sunny WB works. When I lived in northern Arizona it had a yellow cast, due to being at around 8000 feet, which changes the light temperature. When I descended off the mountain far enough I had another measurement preset.
