So you didn't shoot any test images in a mixed lighting environment?
That's a bit bold even when using RAW - a test card or even just a
gray card to establish fundamental color temperature - if there is
such a thing in mixed lighting - would always seem to be required in a
professional environment. Add to that mix a brand new camera/firmware
and it rather becomes a demand for making decent results.
