Color temperature and white balance

Color temperature is one of the properties of light. The unit is Kelvin(K), with 0 K equivalent to -273°C.

The color temperature of a light source is related to the type of illumination and sky conditions. It is not directly related to brightness. A high color temperature is bluish, while a low color temperature is reddish.

Since the response of the human eye is adaptive, changes in color are not sensed even with changes in ambient illumination. However, a camera reproduces color temperature differences to result in different color appearance compared to direct viewing by eye.

White balance adjustment serves to compensate for these differences in color temperature. This camera is provided with automatic tracking (ATW), preset (AWC) and MANUAL white balance modes. The ATW mode is set at the factory.
