Color temperature The spectral balance of different white light sources is rated numerically by color temperature - concept of physics, expressed using the Kelvin (K) temperature scale. The higher the color temperature, the richer the light in bluish tones and the poorer in reddish; the lower the color temperature, the richer the light in reddish tones and the poorer in bluish. It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as artificial light sources. There are gaps in • The color temperatures for each light source indicated in the above scale are approximate. the hues from the color temperatures of fluorescent light. If these differences in hue are small, they can be calculated with color 3 temperature and this is called correlated color temperature. The 4000K, 4500K and 6600K preset settings in this camera are correlated color temperatures, and should not be considered strictly as color temperatures. Use these settings for shooting conditions under fluorescent lights. Setting the auto/preset/custom white balance You can adjust the white balance by selecting the appropriate color temperature for the light conditions.
