These cameras have built in color adjustments to account for this, if they
make an error, you can adjust the white point manually to correct for it.
Profiling is not going to offer an improvement on this, in fact it would
caues more white casts than it eliminated, with changing lighting. I shoot
with an Olympus E-10, and find that simply opening into the matching space
(AdobeRGB in the E-10's case, sRGB for the D-1, at least for the current
version <G>) is fine. The only color management I need with such images is a
hardware calibrated monitor, and good profiles for my printers and/or
proofers.
