What Andre said. Manual white balance only.

You can use the following for white balance:

A piece of photo paper (from a lab) unexposed and run through the processor.
It's a good clean white.

A Kodak Gray Card. (only Kodak. others don't seem to have a really true gray
color)

A set of these cards from
http://www.proofz.com

These are the ones I use and I far prefer the 65 degree one.
