Auto (normal) • "A" represents amber, "B" blue, "G" green, and "M" magenta. • Press the l button to reset. • Press the d button to return to the previous screen. Back Reset The color displayed in the fine-tune screen represents the approximate color in the color temperature direction. A fine-tuned color may not be exactly the same as that in the image. For example, when the white balance is set to Incandescent, the image will not have a strong blue color even if fine adjustment is performed in the B (blue) direction. C Color Temperature Color temperature is an objective measure of colors of light sources which are expressed in the unit of absolute temperature (K: Kelvin). Light sources with lower color temperatures appear more reddish, while light sources with higher color temperatures appear more bluish.
