About color temperature

There are different variations in white color. Color temperature is a way to show these variations in white. When the temperature is low, white appears reddish. When the temperature rises, white appears bluish. For example, you can change the temperature using the following procedures.

To raise the temperature: Increase CONTRAST B (blue) and decrease CONTRAST R (red).

To reduce the temperature: Decrease CONTRAST B (blue) and increase CONTRAST R (red).

If you set CONTRAST R, G, and B to negative values, the brightness of the image can't retain the original even when you maximize the value of CONTRAST in the IMAGE menu.
