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.
