K10D white balance behavior

[Christine Aguila]

Charles:  Well, I just turned on my K10D & I pressed the function button, 
went to white balance & I didn't get the last image I shot, which, obviously 
means I couldn't run through WB options.  So, I took a shot, pressed 
function button, went to white balance & I did get the last image I shot to 
run through WB options.  I don't know for sure, but I wonder if it has to do 
with turning the camera off.
Cheers, Christine
