White balance color temperature

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.
