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.
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.
