So for those of you that shoot under stadium lights. Do you have an issue with your WB going nuts? especially on burst? is there a way to correct this other than in post?

If it's power line frequency color cycling, one solution night be to choose a shutter speed that's a fraction or multiple of the frequency. Otherwise, you'll need to edit every image differently.

Slow enough to capture a full cycle and you wont have enough shutter speed to freeze motion for sports.

Not great options, shoot in raw so you have the most lattitude for fixing the shift. Shoot with strobes if you can.

There are a lot more of us that have 7D II's with no focus problems than they are people that have had problems. I guess some of us are luckier than others. :-)

I shoot raw, take a white balance shot (whibal card) at 1/60 and apply in LR to the final images chosen. This has helped me.

Whether those posts are in jest or not, you'd better get used to it. As an owner of a 6D, I know. I still can't figure out what I'm doing wrong that causes my 6D to focus accurately even with the outer points.

White balance card will not help at all with light cycling problems. Well unless you have it in every shot.

Exactly. At various points in the cycle the color of the light is different, sometimes the shift is so rapid that the bottom of the frame will have a different color shift that the top because of the dual curtain shutter.

^^This will get you the closest possible. The only other way to avoid it, use a flash/strobe.
