Editing OK?: Ask first
Default Re: White Balance or Exposure Set First?

White balance is to determine the type of light (ie color temperature). Exposure is to determine the AMOUNT of light hitting the sensor.

Personally, I'm not sure it matters which comes first. Since lighting conditions change more rapidly than white balance, I tend to set white balance first and exposure based on the shot. I also shoot RAW so I can play with WB afterward if needed.
