Color Temperature and White Balance

Adjustment

Every light source has its own color temperature measured in Kelvin (K). The higher the Kelvin value, the more bluish the light; the lower the value, the more reddish the light. The Kelvin value is related to the tint of the light, but not directly to its brightness.

The range 1 indicated in the illustration above shows the light sources for which this Movie Camera can provide precise white balance adjustment and, therefore, natural colors in the recorded pictures, when using the Full Auto Mode. For light sources outside this range, adjust the white balance manually. (l 54) Also, additional lighting may be necessary.
