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 can
be expressed in terms of color 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.
This camera is preset with correlated color temperatures of 4,000K, 4,500K and 6,600K. Strictly
speaking, these are not color temperatures. Use these settings for shooting conditions under
fluorescent lights.
