Color temperature and adjustment of white balance
When carbon is burnt, it develops various colors of light
depending on the temperature.  Natural light can be
specified by color temperature referring to the color

lute zero temperature 0K) represents the same value
(color)  as  what   develops  when  carbon  is  burnt  at

• White balance may not be correctly set if the
lighting of the object is too weak.

white balance will remain in the memory even if
power is turned off.  Therefore, it is not neces-
sary to reset the white...
