I use presets most of the time to keep the warmth I've added. If I white balance, then it'll go away (it did with my DSR500, and I'm assuming same thing happens with this camera, haven't tried). If I light for daylight, using mostly LEDs, HMIs and/or tungsten lights gelled with CTB, then I use the daylight preset. If I light tungsten, I use the tungsten preset.
If I'm shooting available light in a mixed light area or someplace with funny colored lights, I often white balance on the talent. Occasionally in a couple of places I shoot regularly I'll light daylight but tweak it down a little with the K selector because I can't light the big background entirely. I have a color temperature meter, but usually my eyeball is a close enough guess on what the background is, usually within a couple hundred K.
Speaking of color temperature meters, it is very annoying to me that the camera refuses to tell us what the temperature is. It has to read it when you white balance, and it's no great leap to display it on the screen as all bigger chip cameras do. I don't know why they won't do that. In my big camera days I never used the old color temperature meter because I could do a white balance and it would tell me what the reading was on the various lights around a location.
