No. Metering is not affected at all by the white balance setting.



If extreme speed when shooting is important for you (e.g. shooting fast action sports or skittish wildlife) and you want to maximize your burst rate and minimize your shutter delay it's best to avoid anything "auto" (e.g. Auto White Balance; Auto Metering Modes - Full Auto, P, Tv, Av; Auto Focus; etc...). However, turning off Auto Focus might not be practical depending upon what you're shooting. In the end we're only really talking about milliseconds of difference - and likely not as significant on a Rebel vs. say on a 1D. But in certain shooting situations it can make the difference.
