White balance color temperature 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. 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 color of sunlight and other natural light sources and the color of a light bulb and other artificial light sources • The color temperatures for each light source can be expressed in terms of color indicated in the above scale are approximate. temperature. It follows, then, that the color temperatures of fluorescent lights make them unsuitable as artificial light sources. There are gaps in the hues from the color temperatures of fluorescent light. If these differences in hue are small, they can be calculated with color 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. Information 13 119 EN
