For example, when the white balance is set to Incandescent, the image will not have a strong blue color even if fine adjustment is performed in the B (blue) direction.

C Color Temperature

Color temperature is an objective measure of colors of light sources which are expressed in the unit of absolute temperature (K: Kelvin). Light sources with lower color temperatures appear more reddish, while light sources with higher color temperatures appear more bluish.
