oColor Filter

When the color temperature of the Speedlite and the color temperature of the light illuminating the subject are different, unnatural colors may result for the subject background where the flash does not reach.

By using a supplied color filter suitable for the color temperature of the illuminating light while firing the flash, you can shoot the subject and background colors with an appropriate white balance. You can also use commercially-available color filters.
