Does anyone know what the Sony maker note tag "WBShiftAB_GM" stands for?

Thanks!

I don't have any idea, but the Sony tag name page says
    "2 numbers: 1. positive is a shift toward amber, 2. positive is a shift toward magenta"
* Did you read FAQ #3 and use the command listed there?

Sounds like an adjustment to the auto white balance to me.

The thing to remember is that there isn't documentation for most MakerNotes tags.  The various camera companies keep them propitiatory.  What information that is available is found by trial and error.  Taking a picture, changing a setting, taking another picture and comparing.
