Color Temperature
The perceived color of a light source varies with the viewer and other conditions. Color temperature
is an objective measure of the color of a light source, defined with reference to the temperature to
which an object would have to be heated to radiate light in the same wavelengths. While light
sources with a color temperature in the neighborhood of 5,000– 5,500K appear white, light sources
with a lower color temperature, such as incandescent light bulbs, appear slightly yellow or red. Light
sources with a higher color temperature appear tinged with blue.
Approximate color temperatures for each white balance setting are given below (when fine tuned
white balance setting is ±0). Values may differ from color temperatures given by photo color meters.

Fine-Tuning White Balance
Unless Preset manual is selected, white balance can be “fine tuned” to compensate for
variations in the color of the light source or to introduce a deliberate color cast into an
image.

Fine tune white balance.
Use the multi selector to finetune white balance. White
balance can be fine tuned on the amber (A)–blue (B) axis
and the green (G)–magenta (M) axis. The horizontal
(amberblue) axis corresponds to color temperature, with
each increment equivalent to about 5 mired. The vertical
(greenmagenta) axis has the similar effects to the
corresponding color compensation (CC) filters.
