Hi wondered if I could have some advice

I have owned a GF1, G1 and now a GH1. All cameras are excellent but I favour the 16:9 aspect ratio - the image quality is is much better on the GH1. I mainly take RAW outdoor stills and PP in C1.

Anyway, whilst very happy with the sharpness and res I am finding the AWB a problem. With FD lenses in particular the images are looking washed out, I have read that you can adjust the AWB to create AWB+, I wondered how many users are doing this and if anyone else is using an alternative method of fixing white balance. I am not keen on carrying a grey card everywhere I go.

Thanks in advance
 
You don't have to carry a card. I usually forget it myself, and just fine something white to use for a few seconds.
 
White balance problems wouldn't make the image "washed out" - that sounds more like over exposure.

White balance issues will cause the image to be too red (warm) or too blue (cold). Over exposure will cause the images to lose their colour and contrast.
