Lights are generally denoted as color temperatures and expressed in Kelvin (K) units. The general light color temperatures are shown below.
10000K | Blue sky | |
9000K | Rainy | |
8000K | Cloudy | |
7000K | ||
| ||
6000K | Partly Cloudy | |
| ||
5000K | Sunny | |

4000K | Fluorescent lamp | |
3000K | Halogen lamp | |
2000K | Tungsten lamp | |
1000K | Candlelight | |

You can select one of four modes for white balance adjustment as follows:
-
approximate supported color temperature ranges in these modes. ATW1 : 2500K ~ 9300K(*1)
ATW2 : 2000K ~ 10000K(Mode recommended for sodium lighting)(*2)
*1. If the color temperature is out of this range in ATW1 mode, proper white balance may not be obtained. In that case, select ATW2 mode.
*2. In ATW2 mode, if one color is dominated in the shot area, the color can be displayed differently. Therefore, select the mode which is appropriate for the environment.
